This family resort just north of Great Smoky Mountains National Park combines lodging with a recreation center and indoor and outdoor water parks. At the three water parks, guests have access to 17 waterslides, nine pools and multiple rides. Lake Wilderness Outdoor Waterpark and its array of slides is a must for teens during the summer months, while Salamander Springs Outdoor Waterpark offers an activity pool, a four-level play structure and a zero-entry pool with toddler swings for families with younger kids.
