About Gatlinburg SkyPark
Gatlinburg SkyPark is home to the SkyBridge, the longest pedestrian cable bridge in North America, stretching 680 feet across a valley with a glass-floor panel at its center. The park sits atop Crockett Mountain and is reached by the iconic yellow SkyLift chairlift that has been carrying visitors above downtown Gatlinburg since 1954. It is one of the most photographed landmarks in the Smoky Mountains.
Beyond the SkyBridge, the park features SkyTrail — a scenic walking path that winds through the forest canopy to Tulip Tower, where interpretive signs highlight the region's flora and fauna. At the summit, Clayton's Landing offers sweeping panoramic views of Great Smoky Mountains National Park, along with a restaurant and bar. The chairlift ride itself provides stunning aerial views of downtown Gatlinburg far below.
SkyPark stands out for combining a historic attraction — the original 1954 SkyLift — with modern engineering feats like the record-setting SkyBridge. It delivers a genuinely unique perspective on the Smokies that you simply cannot get anywhere else in the region, and it is accessible to visitors of all ages and fitness levels.
