The 'jacks are back, and we couldn’t be more excited. We have found this season's must-see show! If you are looking for a family friendly adventure show then make plans to see Paula Deen’s Lumberjack Feud, one of the most thrilling things to do in Pigeon Forge.
The New Lumberjack Feud
Paula Deen’s Lumberjack Feud is the first permanent outdoor lumberjack show venue in the state of Tennessee. There is not a bad seat in the house at this 350-person outdoor venue. Paula Deen’s Lumberjack Feud features padded stadium seating under a covered, climate controlled grandstand designed for the guests’ comfort, rain or shine.
Fun For The Whole Family
The high energy show features lumberjacks from all over the nation competing in events such as the underhand chop, standing block chop, springboard chop, speed climbing, log rolling, boom run, ax throw, hot saw event, cross cut and more. Heckling, booing and cheering are encouraged; but be warned, too much smack talk and you may end up on the stage competing against the professionals! These lumberjacks are not actors – they are actual world renowned lumberjacks with quite the resumé.
Derek Knutson, three-time Iron Jack Champion, two-time World Champion Speed Climber, and competitor on Discovery Channel’s American Tarzan comes by the sport honestly. His mother was a professional log roller! Mark Bouquin, winner of the American Grit reality show on Fox with John Cena, is a professional timbersport competitor as well. These fellows are looking forward to the opportunity to show the guests at Paula Deen’s Lumberjack Feud a rowdy good time.
Paula Deen saw the original Lumberjack Feud when she first opened Paula Deen’s Family Kitchen on The Island and fell in love with the thrilling lumberjack show.
Pigeon Forge has become a second home for my family and me. The community has been warm and welcoming from the moment I opened Paula Deen’s Family Kitchen, and I’m thrilled to bring this action-packed show full of family fun back to the area for both residents and visitors to enjoy.
