Townsend is a little place with a lot of character; its got quirky inns and B&Bs, and retains the strong Cherokee influence of the past. It also pays tribute to its Smoky Mountain heritage with several interesting cultural attractions and museums, chief among them the Great Smoky Mountains Heritage Center and the Little River Railroad and Lumber Museum. Townsend’s location on the Little River and at the foot of the mountains lends it to fishing, tubing and horseback riding as well. There are plenty of fun recreational outfits in town that can lend you the appropriate equipment and point you in the right direction. Mostly, you'll want to head anywhere that gives you a great view of the Smokies, a mountain range world-renowned for its grandeur and beauty.
