The Great Outdoors

Search for an RV in Sevier County, and you are one step closer to a dream vacation that will stay with you long after it's over. Begin your dream in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, which has numerous artifacts signifying the Appalachian Mountain culture that used to exist here. Cades Cove is a wide and deep green valley ringed by mountains; it's home to white-tailed deer, black bears, raccoons, skunks, and many other wildlife species. It's a popular destination with tourists for this reason and one other: it has a ring road that allows you to take a driving tour of the park in your RV rental. You can get a booklet at the park entrance that will allow you to take a self-guided tour of the park and understand what you're seeing.Harmon Den Wildlife Management Area is a good destination for hiking and horseback riding; you can also camp here anywhere along the gravel roads, with the exception of Cold Springs Road where you must watch for signs indicating camping is allowed. Fishing and hunting are allowed; the cold mountain streams offer great trout fishing, but a state license is required. A state license is also required to hunt for bear and deer, but certain areas with Harmon Den are restricted and hunting for bears is not allowed. Hunting for grouse and turkey is allowed, and a license is required for these as well.Nantahala National Forest is a multi-use outdoor area providing recreational opportunities for the public, timber resources, and watershed protection. The name of the park is taken from the Cherokee word “Nantahala,” which means “land of the noonday sun.” One of the park's most significant features is the density of its tree stands; the canopy of the trees blocks out the sun at the forest floor until noon, meaning hikers can enjoy the perpetual shade for most of the day. You can also mountain bike on the trails, and off-road vehicles such as motorbikes also use the trails, so you should be aware if there are vehicles there at the same time.

Exploring The Area

When it's time to come in out of the heat, start your urban adventures by heading to Maryville.

There are vineyards and breweries where you can relax and sample the products, plus a theater and a mall where you can get some shopping in.Seymour is a smallish town with a nine-hole golf course that has a challenging layout, including creeks and ponds; it also has a driving range and putting area where you can practice.
