Wears Valley is located between Pigeon Forge and Townsend, Tennessee. From the main Pigeon Forge Parkway, take U.S. Highway 321, which is also known as Wears Valley Road. The Pigeon Forge Parkway intersects with Wears Valley Rd. at stoplight #3 right next to The Track. This area is an unincorporated community of Sevier County, so many of the businesses here have a Sevierville or Pigeon Forge address. The Smoky Mountains range overlooks the peaceful valley. This is a great place to capture mountain photography and scenes of farm life. Unique local mom-and-pop establishments can be enjoyed along the way to Townsend, TN.
Where Is Wears Valley?
The Great Smoky Mountains National Park was established in 1934, and the border of the national park runs parallel to Wears Valley Road. Since that time, the region has developed a reputation as being a quiet bucolic setting and an ideal zone for cabin rentals. Many visitors today are attracted to the idea of renting a cabin in this quiet, less-commercialized area, then driving the short distance to action-packed Pigeon Forge.
Foothills Parkway
In November of 2018, a 16 mile stretch of the Foothills Parkway was completed, connecting Wears Valley to Walland, Tennessee. Motorists can now enjoy a gorgeous 33 mile drive all the way to Chilhowee Lake from Wears Valley. The Foothills Parkway is considered one of the most beautiful drives in America.
