Dry Falls

Directions Coming from Highlands: Take Hwy 64 west for just over 3 miles from its intersection with Hwy 106. Pass or stop at Bridal Veil Falls, then look for a brown and white forest service sign for Dry Falls and turn left into the parking area. If you are coming from Franklin, Dry Falls is about 16.5 miles east on U.S. Hwy 64.

Highlands Aerial Park

This is a fun group or family excursion that only takes up about 2 hours and is really fun!! Scaly Mountain is about a 15 min. car ride from Main street, Highlands.

Killer Bee Honey Tours

Located just 20 minutes from downtown Highlands, Killer Bee Tour & Honey Culinary Experience will introduce you to the intensity of the bee colony, the power of the Queen and the fierce loyalty of her female subjects. Join us on an exploration of these fascinating insects, their role in pollination and sustaining the health of our forest. Honeybees are the heartbeat of not only our agriculture, but a healthy, biodiverse environment. Unfortunately, tours are age 16+
