Facility Overview
3620 Outdoor Sportsman Place Parking is an open-air surface parking facility situated in Kodak, Tennessee, directly serving the Fairfield by Marriott Inn & Suites Sevierville Kodak. Located immediately off Interstate 40 at Exit 407, this spacious 88-space paved lot provides smooth navigation, wide drive aisles, and designated stalls designed to handle standard passenger cars, large pickup trucks, and full-size SUVs. Because the facility is an expansive outdoor lot with no overhead barriers or low ceilings, it offers open vertical clearance, making it an accessible choice for high-roof utility vans, lifted trucks, and visitors traveling with rooftop cargo boxes or bike racks.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
Positioned along the primary northern gateway to the Great Smoky Mountains, the lot is surrounded by premier retail, dining, and sports destinations. The massive Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World complex is just a 3- to 5-minute walk (less than 0.3 miles) from the property. Sports enthusiasts are less than a 5-minute drive (approximately 1.5 miles) from Smokies Stadium, home of the Tennessee Smokies Minor League baseball team. Additionally, the Sevierville Convention Center and the Wilderness at the Smokies waterpark resort are situated roughly 7 miles south down Winfield Dunn Parkway (TN-66), while the major tourist hubs of Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg are easily accessible straight down the corridor.
Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
Entering and exiting the property is seamless via Outdoor Sportsman Place, connected to State Route 66 (Winfield Dunn Parkway) and directly interfacing with the Interstate 40 interchange. Traffic flow within the lot is straightforward with clear dual-way aisles that prevent congestion. Regional access is unrivaled for drivers arriving along I-40 from Knoxville or Asheville. While the area primarily relies on vehicular transport rather than metropolitan rail transit, local rideshare operators (Uber and Lyft) readily serve the property, providing simple connections to downtown Sevierville and nearby regional hubs.

Visitor & Driver Tips
When approaching via Interstate 40 Exit 407, stay in the right-hand lanes of Winfield Dunn Parkway to make the quick turn onto Outdoor Sportsman Place. During peak tourist seasons—especially summer weekends and autumn fall-foliage weeks—traffic on Route 66 heading south toward Sevierville can become heavily congested; plan departures early in the morning to beat the rush. If you require EV charging, download the Blink network app ahead of time to verify station availability and monitor active charging sessions.
