Challenge the famous Goliath zipline tour
Many visitors to Foxfire Mountain Adventure Park can’t resist the allure of the Goliath zipline tour, and you might not be able to either. Dare yourself to glide through five of the fastest and longest connecting ziplines in the United States, reaching speeds of up to 60 mph as you sail 500 ft. above the lush mountain canopies. It’s definitely a great way to get your heart pumping and see some of the best views in the Smokies from a totally unique vantage point. The Goliath zipline tour is only for ages 10 and up, so the little kids will need to sit this one out. But for anyone else who’s looking for a soaring experience, it can’t be beat.
Foxfire Mountain also offers a less intense but still exhilarating Waterfall Canopy zipline tour, available for ages 7 and up. This experience takes you over some fantastic waterfall vistas and features two sky bridges. No matter which zipline experience you choos,e you’ll have experienced guides there to help you transfer and ensure your safety equipment is ready to go.
Take part in a variety of outdoor adventures
You could make a whole trip to Foxfire Mountain Adventure Park just out of ziplining, but there are plenty of other outdoor excursions open to you as well. For starters, a guided ATV tour can take you off the beaten path up the mountain through some unspoiled and rugged terrain.
If you prefer to stay on foot, you can check out the hiking trails that let you cross a swinging bridge over Foxfire Gorge, and continue up to the Lost Mine Waterfall. These hikes are suitable for everyone from novice to experienced hikers, so make sure to bring the kids. Foxfire Mountain Adventure Park also has a partnership with Raft Outdoor Adventures, and you can book a combo zip lining and whitewater rafting package for the ultimate in air and water adventures in the mountains. If you need more than one day to try it all, consider booking one of their glamping experiences to camp in the wilderness without giving up the luxury touches.
