This beautiful spot is the Townsend Wye a favorite local swimming hole on the peaceful side of the Smoky Mountains. This is a perfect place for a family picnic or a relaxing afternoon during your Tennessee vacation away from the busy attractions of Gatlinburg TN or Pigeon Forge TN. The water is refreshingly cold year round so be prepared. This is inside Great Smoky Mountains National Park so a parking pass is required to stop here. It makes a fantastic scenic stop on your way to other park adven
