Visitor Highlights & Practical Info
Weekend mornings and Sunday after church are the busiest times, so arrive early or aim for mid-afternoon. Summer brings extra crowds from Douglas Lake boaters and from drivers heading toward Sevierville and the Smokies. Food bar availability and hours can vary, so call ahead at (865) 397-6444 to confirm. After your meal, drive a few minutes to historic downtown Dandridge, the second-oldest town in Tennessee, for a walk among its preserved 19th-century buildings.
