Ziplining in the Smokies

A day spent zip lining adds fun to any vacation. However, not all areas and courses are created equal. You want a ziplining experience that offers great views and fun options, one with plenty to keep you busy and views that make your investment worthwhile. Ziplining while you are visiting the Great Smoky Mountains does just that. Prepare to be amazed at the beautiful flora and fauna, great views of the mountains and rivers, and a variety of options designed to give you the best possible experience. What makes the Smokies the best place to plan your next zipline adventure? Read on to find out.

The Pigeon River

The 70-mile long Pigeon River boasts multiple levels of rapids, making it a favorite for whitewater rafting, canoeing, and kayaking. On your zipline canopy tour, you’ll get an elevated view of the river’s eddies and currents. The Pigeon River gives you great views and beautiful scenery to ensure the best possible zipline experience.

Treetop Views

It’s a fact that ziplining is more fun when there are trees involved. Not only do they offer shade, but you get an up-close and personal view of the wide variety of trees that populate the nearby Great Smoky Mountains. Effortlessly glide past towering maples and stately hemlocks. Depending on the time of year, you might be able to spot a flowering dogwood up close. Regardless of the species, ziplining near the Smoky Mountains gives you an excellent opportunity to admire the diverse trees of the area from a close range.
