SkyPark Gatlinburg is a popular attraction in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, offering panoramic views of the Smoky Mountains. This iconic park has a rich history dating back to 1953 when it was originally opened as Rebel Railroad and Goldrush Junction.
The park featured a miniature train, amusement rides, and a recreation of an 1800s-era town. In the 1960s, the park was renamed SkyPark and expanded to include a chairlift ride that took visitors up Crockett Mountain, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains.
SkyPark has undergone several renovations and additions, including the installation of a new chairlift system in 2013. Today, SkyPark Gatlinburg features a range of activities, including the SkyLift Park, which takes visitors 1,800 feet up Crockett Mountain, and the SkyBridge, a 700-foot-long suspension bridge with glass floor panels offering stunning views.
Visitors can also enjoy scenic hiking trails, a treetop canopy walk, and a variety of dining and shopping options. SkyPark Gatlinburg remains a beloved attraction in the heart of the Smoky Mountains, attracting millions of visitors each year.
