The Enigmatic Burning Fountain: A Gatlinburg Gem

Getting There

• Walking

  If you are in downtown Gatlinburg, head towards the Parkway. Start at the intersection of the Parkway and Historic Nature Trail. Walk south on the Parkway for about 0.5 miles. You will pass various shops and eateries along the way. As you continue, keep an eye out for the '634 Parkway' address on your right. Burning Fountain is located just past the Gatlinburg SkyLift Park, and you will see a distinct structure with water features. It should take approximately 10-15 minutes to walk there from the downtown area.

• Public Transport

  Take the Gatlinburg Trolley, which offers convenient transport around the area. Board the trolley at any of the trolley stops in downtown Gatlinburg. You will want to take the route that goes south on the Parkway. Stay on the trolley until you reach the stop closest to 634 Parkway. Once you disembark, walk a short distance to the right until you reach Burning Fountain. The trolley ride usually takes around 5-10 minutes, depending on traffic.

• Biking

  If you prefer biking, you can rent a bike from one of the rental shops in downtown Gatlinburg. Head south on the Parkway, following the same route as you would if walking. Biking will allow you to reach your destination faster; expect the ride to take about 5 minutes. Just be cautious of pedestrians and maintain a safe speed as you navigate through the bustling area.
