Sevierville · Greenways

Easy walks.
Beautiful local miles.

One honest guide to Sevierville’s paved greenways, river walks, park loops, and tree-lined places to slow down.

Sevierville has a real network of city greenways—not ten separate mountain hikes. These routes are where you go for a river breeze, a family walk, an easy ride, or a peaceful hour close to town.

01

Downtown riverfront

West Prong Greenway

2 milesPaved / easygoing

Best for: River scenery, birds, history, and an easy connection to City Park

Follow the West Prong of the Little Pigeon River past Paine Memorial Park, a gazebo, boardwalk sections, and the McMahan Indian Mound. A covered bridge connects this route with the City Park loop.

Local tip: This is the best place to begin if you want the classic Sevierville Greenway experience without leaving town.
02

Sevierville City Park

City Park Walking Trail

0.5-mile loopPaved / easygoing

Best for: Families, an easy loop, and a no-road-crossing greenway connection

A short paved loop through City Park that links directly to the West Prong Greenway by covered bridge. It is an easy add-on when you want a little more walking without moving the car.

Local tip: Pair this loop with West Prong for a longer riverside morning.
03

Middle Creek

Middle Creek Greenway

2 milesPaved / easygoing

Best for: A practical paved walk close to the municipal area

This city route follows Middle Creek and helps connect the municipal area toward Veterans Boulevard. It works well for a steady walk, an easy bike ride, or a simple outdoor break.

Local tip: Choose this one when convenience matters as much as scenery.
04

City Hall & Community Center

Municipal Complex Greenway

0.6-mile loopPaved / easygoing

Best for: A quick walk with landscaping and river views

Loop around the Community Center, Police Station, and City Hall on a paved route with landscaped sections beside the river. It is short, central, and easy to fit into a busy day.

Local tip: A good choice for a relaxed loop before lunch or after errands downtown.
05

Sevierville to Pigeon Forge

Veterans Boulevard Greenway

6 miles one wayPaved / easygoing

Best for: A longer paved route for walking, running, or biking

This wide paved greenway travels alongside Veterans Boulevard toward Dollywood and Pigeon Forge. Unlike the compact park loops, it gives you room for a longer out-and-back adventure.

Local tip: You do not have to complete all six miles—pick a turnaround point that fits your day.
06

Kodak

Northview Optimist Park Loop

0.3-mile loopPaved / easygoing

Best for: A short, lighted neighborhood walk

A compact loop at Northview Optimist Park in the Kodak area. It is more of a simple park walk than a scenic hike, but it belongs in the city greenway collection.

Local tip: Best for a quick stretch or a few easy laps.
07

Along West Prong

Burchfiel Grove & Arboretum

Self-guided strollPaved / easygoing

Best for: Trees, learning, and a slower nature walk

Turn part of the West Prong outing into a self-guided tree walk. Burchfiel Grove and Arboretum identifies dozens of tree species and gives families another reason to pause and notice what is growing beside the river.

Local tip: Let this be the unhurried part of your walk—look for the identification markers as you go.
