The Island in Pigeon Forge

For the longest time, The Island was Pigeon Forge’s infamous vaporware attraction that spent years in paused production. Today, The Island has more than made up for the time spent by providing one of the highest quality town centers you could find in the entire state!

While the name “The Island” might give the impression it’s set on some waterbed somewhere in town, it is in fact located dead center downtown Pigeon Forge and has incredibly convenient accessibility from almost anywhere you come in from. You can enter and find parking straight off the main parkway or you can come in from the rear entrance on Teaser Lane to a HUGE parking lot that was designed to be hard to fill up. The Island has its own free trolley service for those who may find it difficult to walk across the length to get to, like Dollywood.

Once you get inside, an awe will come over you as you see exactly why The Island is so popular – incredible sights and stores fill the property alongside restaurants, attractions, and pretty much everything you’d need if you and your group wanted to stay the afternoon.
