About
Greenbrier Picnic Pavilion is a reservable day-use facility tucked into one of the most scenic and peaceful areas of Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Located in the heavily forested Greenbrier cove approximately 20 minutes east of Gatlinburg, the pavilion sits along the Middle Fork of the Little River. The covered structure measures 22' x 59' and accommodates up to 70 guests, making it suitable for family reunions, group picnics, and special events. Amenities include multiple charcoal grills (two outside and one fireplace inside), picnic tables, and bear-proof dumpsters. There is no potable water or electricity; restrooms are portable toilets. The Greenbrier area is known for its spring wildflowers, waterfalls, trout fishing, and historic structures. Several hiking trails depart from nearby trailheads, including routes to Ramsey Cascades and Porters Creek. Weddings held at the pavilion require a separate permit in addition to the pavilion reservation.
