The Island of Pigeon Forge, TN

On a trip to the Smoky Mountains this summer we spent an extra day in Pigeon Forge.  We have never spent much time in Pigeon Forge except to shop a little or try out a new restaurant,  but this trip we discovered a whole new area that proved to be a lot of fun.  The The Island of Pigeon Forge had great places to eat and shop plus fun things to do.


My husband and I loved the view from the 200 feet tall Great Smoky Mountain Wheel.  It is hard to choose between the daytime view of the mountains and the night view of the lights. 



The fountain show was a very special treat.  The water danced to the music as the lights changed colors while we rocked in the rocking chairs or watched from above in The Wheel.                                                   






The Margaritaville Hotel will be open starting October 2014 but the Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville Restaurant and Bar is already open complete with a patio bar that has live music nightly.  Timberwood Grill is another good choice for food with indoor and outdoor seating.
