About Smokies Adventure

SmokiesAdventure.com was conceptualized in 2006 and the website was introduced to the world on November 7, 2011 in a “soft-launch” event.  The site was reworked into a “version 2.0” on July 26, 2013 and made fully mobile-friendly in August 2018. It was updated again in February of 2021.

Our goal is to provide as much information pertaining to the Smoky Mountains as possible, while presenting the information in the best possible way.  We strive to give our users a positive experience in finding outdoor adventures, lodging, attractions, and events in and around the Smoky Mountains.

Our site covers not only the adventurous Great Smoky Mountains National Park, but also the communities of Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, Sevierville, Townsend, Cherokee, Wears Valley, Maggie Valley, and Bryson City.

The emphasis of Smokies Adventure is outdoor recreation along with providing information on lodging, family entertainment, events, conventions, honeymoons, and more.  The goal of this site is to become the leading information portal of the Smoky Mountains.

The people behind the screen have many years of experience in outdoor recreation and tourism.  The company that owns and operates this site, Woodyear McElroy Properties, LLC owns the Meadowlark Motel in Maggie Valley, NC.  The company also runs the Great Smoky Mountains section of Where Traveler Magazine.
