Black Bear Sightings

At Gatlinburg Town Square & Village, we are keen on maintaining respect and environmentally friendly practices for our woodland friends. As cute and cuddly as a bear cub might be, we guarantee Mama bear isn't too far behind! Though black bears are rarely aggressive and are just as curious as you, please maintain a comfortable and respectful distance from any bear.

Black bears are known to visit our property to explore, so please check both ways before fully exiting your accommodation.
