Foothills Parkway
A 33-mile National Park Service parkway along the Smoky Mountain foothills from Chilhowee to Wears Valley via Walland, with a separate 5.6-mile eastern segment near Cosby. No commercial traffic and constant ridge views — a natural connector between US-129 and Pigeon Forge.
What you'll hit along the way.
Rider-verified stops, overlooks, fuel, and the corners worth knowing about — in the order you'll meet them.
Chilhowee (western terminus)
Western end at US-129 by Chilhowee Lake — links directly to the Tail of the Dragon corridor. No fuel on the parkway itself.
Walland
Mid-route crossing at US-321 — nearest fuel and food, and an easy bailout point toward Townsend or Maryville.
Wears Valley
Eastern end of the main section, on the "Missing Link" stretch with its signature ridge-top bridges — services along US-321 toward Pigeon Forge.
Cosby (eastern segment)
The separate 5.6-mile eastern segment runs from near Cosby to I-40 — a quick, quiet detached stretch worth adding if you are headed east.
