Smoky Mountains Peace Pagoda
1878 Peace Pagoda Way
Newport, TN 37821
The Great Smoky Mountains Peace Pagoda is located on top of a mountain, elevation 2,200 feet, directly off Interstate
40 in eastern Tennessee and adjacent to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. We are about 1 hour's drive from both Knoxville,
TN to the west and Asheville, NC to the east.
From I-40, take exit 440 [Wilton Springs Road] and head north on Route 73. If you are westbound on I-40 (i.e, coming from
the Asheville direction), turn right coming off the exit ramp. Coming east on I-40 (coming from the Knoxville direction),
turn left at the bottom of the ramp. either way, go past a Sunoco station on the left, which all the locals call "The Truck
Stop."
Past the truck stop, take the first right turn onto Maple Lane. From this point there are signs saying "Peace Pagoda"
to guide you up the hill, however, here are the directions just in case. Stay on the paved road and at Branch Drive take
a left. The road goes up a hill, bends to the left. Continue on it until Woodland Way. This sign is partially hidden and therefore
hard to see, but it comes just as the paved road ends, past the turns for Trail Way and Cardinal Way.
Turn right on Woodland Way, coming up the dirt and gravel road until you get to Peace Pagoda Way. Turn left and continue a
short distance to the Stone Pagoda.
You can park near the Stone Pagoda or turn right and drive up the last 3/10th mile to the temple. However DO NOT drive
up unless you have 4-wheel drive. This road is very steep and the road surface is very loose. You can either walk up the hill
or call us before arriving (423-613-8209) and we can meet you and drive you up.
