     On a great day at Tinsley Pond you can take a hike along the Cove Mountain Trail, and not far from Tinsley Pond you'll stumble on Callans Pond which is a striking lake. This lake is so wonderful. Ober Gatlinburg has nice slopes and a friendly staff, and a wonderful close by hotel is Best Western Strawberry Inn & Suites. If you came to camp Sleepy Hollar Campground is a perfect spot to do that, and if you need a place to stay La Quinta Inn AND Suites Knoxville  
   Strawberry Plains is a pleasant choice.

The Laurel Falls Trail is a good hiking trail near Tinsley Pond; if you're looking for some flowing water? Try Boone Branch. Tinsley Pond sees pretty high levels of rain; the wettest month of the year is mostly March, that's the one that rains the most; October is the month with the least moisture. Camping at Riverside Campground is always a good experience, and if the weather is good, you can go for a hike along the Meigs Mountain Trail.
You simply must have a thing about Tinsley Pond. You're sure to run into some nice people from Sevierville here, and playing golf is lots of fun at River Islands Golf Club. You believe that's sufficient? Just getting warmed up. Don't miss out on a tour to Great Smoky Mountains National Park if you're here at Tinsley Pond, and since you might be in a lake visiting mood you can always take a look at close by Fox Pond.

Little River
12 miles away
Correction:
The run described here is actually from the Elbow to the Y. It is incorrectly labeled Elbow to Townsend.

There is another run from the Y to Townsend, but there is a low level Dam about 2 miles from the Y that has to be portaged. This run is about 4 miles. It has Class 2+ rapids at the start and gradually gets easier till it is Class 1 as the trip approaches Townsend....
This is a very scenic run.  The Little River run through The Smoky Mountain National Park along Little River Road. The put-in is 2.6 miles from the Y driving towards the Sinks.  You should go with a group of experience paddlers that have run this section before.  There is a rapid called Mary's Rock that is Class 2+ rapid with a deadly undercut rock that has nearly trapped unaware paddlers under water.  This rapid should be portage by most paddlers.  Advanced paddlers should not have any difficulties making the S-turn that is required to successfully run this rapid. There are probably 8-10 Class 2 rapids to go along with the 5-6 rapids that are Class 2+ or 3.  This run is is runnable in the wet season (Fall to Winter).  You need a minimum 600 cfs on the Little River Maryville gauge....
