Gem Mine by the Waterfall at Friendly Falls

Gem mining is practically an American pastime for families with young children now and Friendly Falls employs one as part of their list of onsite amenities and family-friendly activities that help give the establishment its name.

Friendly Falls is a casual hangout spot located between Wears Valley and Pigeon Forge, TN. Aside from being known for “Gnorbert’s Gem Mine, it also has a gorgeous waterfall, accommodations for reunions and weddings, onsite restaurant, gift store and more to offer.
