    Hiking

    The Townsend Historical Trail is a roughly ten mile paved path on either side of East Lamar Alexander Parkway in Townsend, Tennessee. This small town serves as one of the main entrances into the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. There is history with informational signs, river overlooks, and restaurants and stores along the way. The path is pretty flat, and there are multiple trailheads you can park at.
