Foxfire Mountain Adventure Park
The largest zip-line attraction in the smokies- with seven ziplines and America's longest swinging bridge across Foxfire Gorge and Little Pigeon River Lost Mine Falls and an ATV escroted adventure.
Hen Wallow Falls
A short 2 ½ mile walk past creeks, foot logs, and heavy vegetation leads you to a picturesque picnic spot by a waterfall.
Mount Cammerer
This is a fairly strenuous 6 mile hike up to a restored fire tower originally built by the WPA. The views from the trail itself are great, but the view from the tower site is simply the best in the Smokies.
Max Patch Trail
You drive a little bit to the trail head, but the walk is only a mile long to this grass-covered bald at an elevation of 4500 feet. The Appalachian trail crosses it, and the 360 degree views are like being on top of the world.
White Water Rafting
The French Broad and the lower Big Pigeon Rivers offer gentle float trips through pristine mountain scenery. The Upper Big Pigeon boasts 5 miles of class 2,3, and 4 rapids though spectacular river gorges if you want a bumpier trip. This is one of the most popular activities in the Smokies and only happens on select days each season, so make your reservations early.
