About Forbidden Caverns Sevierville
Forbidden Caverns is a 1 hour walking tour that guides you through sparkling rock 
formations, towering chimneys, grottos and a clear stream. They have added handrails and lights, so you can see along the way.
At one time, Forbidden Caverns was used as shelter for Indians during hunting trips as shelter and a constant source of water. You’ll most likely see drawings engraved in some of the walls of the caverns. This is because the caverns are filled with flint which was used by Indians to carve tools and weapons.
From around 1920 to 1943, moonshiners would use the caverns as a hiding place to make their moonshine. It wasn’t until around 1967 that Forbidden Caverns was ready to open to the public.
Forbidden Caverns, located in Sevierville, Tennessee is one of America’s most spectacular caverns.
