Wilderness at the Smokies is a resort located on Wilderness Territories property in Sevierville, Tennessee. It opened in 2008 as part of the new Bridgemont development, which, along with the resort itself, now includes shopping, dining, and conference facilities.

Resort development

Development of the site included a hotel and outdoor waterpark. The second area opened in December 2008 and offers a condominium resort and indoor waterpark (titled the 'Wild WaterDome', which is one of the largest indoor waterparks in Tennessee[1]). The third area added was the 'Lake Wilderness' outdoor waterpark and became available in May 2009.

In May, 2010, Wilderness Rafting and Catalooche Creek Adventure Golf, at Lake Wilderness, were added.

In December 2023, the addition of a 'water coaster' (developed by WhiteWater West) and lazy river was made within the indoor waterpark. In March 2024, the resort added a rooftop lounge featuring a pool outlooking the general vicinity as well as a bar and cafeteria.[2]
