Things to Do Over Labor Day Weekend in Bryson City
Enjoy An Adventure-Filled Getaway in the Smokies
Labor Day is an annual holiday that celebrates the achievements of American workers. This Labor Day weekend, why not take a well-deserved break and enjoy some outdoor adventures in the Great Smoky Mountains of Bryson City?
You can explore outdoor adventures, festivals, scenic train rides, farm events, and more. If you're up for some outdoor fun, consider planning a mountain hike. For an easy hike to see three waterfalls, check out the Deep Creek Loop hike in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. If you're looking for a more challenging adventure, you can tackle a section of the Appalachian Trail to Charlies Bunion.
The weather is warm and the outdoor adventures are plentiful. Take a look at our late summer adventure guide for more ideas.
If water activities are more your thing, there are options like whitewater rafting, creek tubing, and lake swimming. If you're traveling with family, you can find a spacious mountain cabin with amenities like a fireplace, fire pit, mountain view, or hot tub. Some accommodations are also pet-friendly, so you can bring along your dog. Take a look at our event calendar for more things to do during the Labor Day holiday:
