Herbert Holt Park is a charming 5-acre municipal handicap accessible park nestled along the West Prong of the Little Pigeon River at the northern entrance to Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Known for its tranquil setting and family-friendly amenities, it offers a peaceful retreat just outside the bustling downtown area.
Key Features :
Trout Rearing Facility: Home to Tennessee’s only municipal trout farm, the facility raises rainbow trout that are stocked into the river every Thursday. Recent renovations have modernized the raceways and added a shaded pavilion and bleachers for educational programs.
Fishing Opportunities: The park features a handicap-accessible fishing pier and a designated children-only fishing area. Fishing is prohibited on Thursdays during stocking, and a Gatlinburg fishing license is required.
Recreational Amenities: Visitors can enjoy a playground, picnic tables with grills, a covered pavilion, horseshoe pits, and walking trails. The park also houses the city’s greenhouse, where plants and flowers are cultivated for city beautification.
Recent Renovations: In 2023, the park underwent significant upgrades, including improved river access, new playground equipment, and enhanced parking and restroom facilities.
Whether you're seeking a quiet spot to fish, a place for a family picnic, or an opportunity to learn about local trout conservation efforts, Herbert Holt Park offers a welcoming environment for all ages.
