Sweets
Cherokee runs heavily to ice cream, and two of these are on Big Cove Road within sight of each other. Ice Cream Station keeps twelve Riverbend Creamery flavors going alongside six freak shakes, funnel cakes, fried Oreos and Pup Cups for the dog. Heavenly Fudge works copper kettles, hands out free samples, and has been voted the top tourist stop on the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad.
SugarBear’s carries 32 Hershey’s flavors plus Italian-style espresso and bubble tea, with riverside seating and gluten-free and vegan options. Tubby’s pops kettle corn over an open flame and keeps soft serve on hand. Between them there isn’t a bad time of day to stop.
