Townsend Tennessee from I-40
Heading up to Townsend Tenn. soon and Google says to go 321 off I-40 right through Gatlinburg. Obviously that's not ideal. Is it better to go up further north up 40 and come down 411 to Sevierville?

I would take I-40 through town, but not go all the way to Lenoir City and US321. Take Pellissippi parkway (aka I-140) off of I-40 to US129 and then pickup US321 from there.
The route is highligted in blue below and would save 20ish miles from going out to Lenoir City.
Good advice but I'd cut the corner off and take 129 south from Knoxville. It's not a bad road. Then I could stop at camping world (off 129) and buy something I really didn't need while on the way.
Good call, I always forget that option. When we head that way we take Pellissippi as we live closer to it.
