About Gold Rush Stables

Goldrush Stables offers guided horseback trail rides in Pigeon Forge, with views of the Great Smoky Mountains, Dollywood and Dolly Parton’s DreamMore Resort along the way. The trail crosses a shallow creek, runs through open pasture, follows a ridge and winds through the forest, with gentle hills that make for a relaxed ride. The stables keep their trails natural, which makes for a more authentic experience and less disturbance to wildlife habitat. The stables say they were chosen as the number one horseback riding stable by Google and Tripadvisor reviewers for 2021, and they credit their friendly staff and well-cared-for horses for repeat visits. It is a good way to enjoy the scenery away from the busy Parkway, and families and groups are welcome. Rides are seasonal, and the stables’ website was last updated for an earlier season, so call ahead to confirm current hours, ride times and any age or weight requirements before you go.
