Dolly Parton’s water park, which sits around 10 miles north of Great Smoky Mountains National Park, pays tribute to local heritage and culture. Themed rides and slides include an 8,000-square-foot lagoon with interactive features like a rustic water tower and a waterfall, the wooden Bear Mountain Fire Tower play structure, and dual slides that end at a butterfly-shaped pool. If you’re after an adrenaline rush, ride RiverRush, Tennessee’s only water coaster.
