Upper Middle Creek Road (a section of which is called Dollywood Lane) connects Pigeon Forge with Dollywood and the rural areas of eastern Sevier County.

The name Pigeon Forge comes from an iron forge built by Isaac Love (1783-1854) sometime around 1820. The name of this forge referred to its location along the Little Pigeon River, in the vicinity of what is now the Old Mill.

Note : Traveling south on Winfield Dunn Parkway (Hwy 66) during peak travel season will surely result in time being stuck in traffic. With this route, the majority of traffic from Sevierville to Pigeon Forge will be eliminated.

From Winfield Dunn Parkway (Hwy 66) turn left on Dolly Parton Parkway, next look for Veterans Boulevard, and turn right the traffic light. Veterans Boulevard runs all the way to Pigeon Forge traffic light #8.
