The trolley system covers key areas of Gatlinburg and nearby Pigeon Forge, with stops near popular attractions, restaurants, and shopping centers. You can catch the trolley at multiple locations throughout town, making it a great way to get around without the hassle of parking. There’s even a free Parkway Trolley that operates seasonally, taking visitors up and down Gatlinburg’s main strip​.
