A must see during the holidays! 🎄 This was such a nice way to end a day in Pigeon Forge. I would suggest starting at at The Island for the most parking spots. The path is well lit with holiday lights and lamp posts, people are respectful and it's also great for all activity levels and wheelchair and dog friendly. Add this to your list of free things to do in Pigeon Forge during the holidays! ✨️❄️

We walked from the Island to the Old mill. Loved the little walk. Some of the lights weren't working but going to give it a 4. Me being me noticed a lot of plugs that could get damaged from rain. I hope they keep adding on and improving each year. The area where you have to walk in the neighborhood. Would be nice if each of those houses would decorate as well. I know that's up to the owners. Would do this again. Hopefully next time we will do the other side of the walk.

Beautiful night time walk along the river. We walked about 1 mile each direction, but you can go less or even more if you want to seek out some of the additional lights nearby. Really nice. Music along the path would make it even more festive.

Nice Christmas lights walking path. Beautiful lights. Only 2 issues that need consideration. There needs to be either shuttles or closer parking from Patriot Park entrance. The other issue was bicycles racing up behind us leaving work from The Islands. Very rude and dangerous! One came within an inch of running over my disabled wife with no warning or regard for posted rules. Bikes should be banned! A few gaps between some displays. Also music would have been a nice touch. We actually visited the area specifically to do the leisure walk to enjoy the lights as well as the driving light displays.

This walk is very beautiful at night. Family friendly, not strenuous. Its trailhead is right before going into the Island at Pigeon Forge. The only part I didnt enjoy was that it’s not a round trip, it’s a go and come back which I think could be changed somehow. Also one part of the walk there is a construction sight on one side of the trail so that kinda takes away some of the beauty of it. It was nice though we enjoyed this walk and the lights. Maybe add music for a better experience! Free parking at the island!

This was the most amazing experience that goes about as far as you would want to walk. If you were seeing this kind of light show anywhere else, you would have had to pay good money. I honestly can’t believe it’s free since it’s so awesome and there are so many lights. This is an absolute can’t miss, free thing to do with family or a date night in Pigeon Forge. Like I said, it’s what most people would profit from this time of year anywhere else and you can take this wonderful walk for free! We loved it so much!!!
