Forbidden Caverns

The Forbidden Caverns are a series of extensive underground passages located just outside Sevierville, known for their impressive formations and rich history. Formed over millions of years, they feature stalactites, stalagmites, and underground rivers that create a striking geological landscape, drawing attention since their discovery in the 1960s. Plan for a tour lasting about an hour, guided by knowledgeable staff who share stories of the caverns' past and the Native American legends surrounding them. The nearby Smoky Mountains provide a picturesque backdrop, making it a good stop after a hike or a day exploring local attractions.
