About this Location

Facility Overview

Situated directly along the bustling tourism corridor connecting Sevierville and Pigeon Forge, the 1650 Parkway US Highway 441 Parking facility serves visitors to The Lodge at Five Oaks, adjacent dining, and nearby premier attractions. This expansive, single-level open-air surface lot features an intuitive asphalt layout designed to handle heavy vehicular flow year-round. Because it is completely open-air without multi-story decks or low-hanging overhead barriers, the facility has no vertical clearance restrictions. This open headroom makes the lot exceptionally accommodating for standard passenger cars, lifted pickup trucks, full-size SUVs, roof-rack-equipped overland vehicles, conversion vans, and high-roof passenger sprinters.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

Positioned in the vibrant Governor's Crossing and Five Oaks district, this parking location provides direct pedestrian and vehicular access to some of the Smoky Mountain region's most popular retail, entertainment, and dining destinations:

Tanger Outlets Sevierville: Directly across US-441 (a 4- to 6-minute walk via signalized pedestrian crossings), home to over 100 brand-name designer outlet stores.
SkyLand Ranch: Situated directly adjacent to the property, offering mountain chairlift rides, miniature animals, live entertainment, and the longest mountain coaster in the Southeast.
Five Oaks Farm Kitchen & Adventure Park: Located immediately next door, renowned for hearty Southern scratch breakfasts, zipline canopy tours, and horseback riding trails.
NASCAR SpeedPark Smoky Mountains: Approximately 0.4 miles south (about an 8-minute walk), featuring multiple go-kart tracks, family rides, and arcade games.
Pigeon Forge Entertainment Corridor: Iconic attractions including WonderWorks (1.0 mile), the Titanic Museum Attraction (1.2 miles), and the Hatfield & McCoy Dinner Feud (1.4 miles) are just a 3- to 5-minute drive south down the Parkway.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Ingress and egress are straightforward via multiple wide curb cuts directly off US Highway 441 (Parkway), which serves as the primary multi-lane thoroughfare connecting Interstate 40 (via TN-66 / Winfield Dunn Parkway) directly to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. During peak summer seasons, Rod Run automotive weekends, and fall foliage peaks, traffic on the Parkway can become congested; however, dedicated turning lanes and nearby traffic signals aid smooth entry and exit. Visitors seeking public transportation can easily link with the Pigeon Forge Mass Transit (Fun Time Trolley) network, which operates routes along the Parkway, offering affordable connections to Dollywood, Patriot Park, and Gatlinburg transfer stations.

Visitor & Driver Tips

When approaching the lot along northbound or southbound US-441, keep an eye out for prominent Five Oaks and Lodge signage well ahead of time to merge smoothly into the turn lane, as traffic moves briskly along this multi-lane highway. If crossing the Parkway on foot to visit Tanger Outlets, always utilize the marked crosswalk at the signalized intersection rather than crossing mid-block. During major holiday weekends, autumn foliage peaks, and car show events, plan to arrive early in the morning to secure prime spaces and avoid regional mid-day Parkway bottlenecks.
