Pigeon Forge is far and away an ideal summer retreat. Aside from not having a great deal of outdoor winter vacation attractions such as skiing and snowboarding, the sunniest days of the year are between April and October. However, there is a ski lodge about a half an hour from the city and the most ideal time to go there is from December and into early March when they’re receiving the majority of their snowfall.

During the summer Pigeon Forge has beautiful weather, though more humid than the national average, and sunny skies. It is rare for the temperatures to ever reach the 90’s, even in the hottest month of the year in July. In August you can maximize your outdoor time since this is the summer month with the least amount of rain. With summer attractions such as white water rapid tours, hiking, golfing, water parks, go-carts, helicopter tours and much more, the summer time attraction of this Smoky Mountain town is undeniable.

Fall and spring in this part of Tennessee have temperatures that range from the high 30’s to the low 70’s, so if a trip is planned for this time of year it is recommended that cold weather wear be brought along. Rain coats and umbrellas are especially recommended as well for the spring as the rainfall can be cold and daunting.
