Smokey Mountain Park is the most visit park encompasses more than half a million acres ranging from mountain terrain to hardwood forests to wetlands. It has five different types of forests alone and one-third of its trees are over 100 years old. The mountains get their name from the smoky haze that blankets the area giving it an almost magical quality. These compounds also create the various scents and odors people smell when walking through a thick forest (think pine). Molecules in the gaseous vapor scatter blue light from the sky and create the region’s signature smoky blue haze! Ober Gatlinburg amusement park is a family-favorite destination less than 1 hour from Smoke Rise Barn on Douglas Lake.
