6-Line Zip at Night: Smoky Mountains After-Dark Zipline Experience
Fly seven illuminated ziplines through a 70-acre park after dark, reaching speeds near 50 mph with distant Smoky Mountain silhouettes and town lights below. This two-hour, small-group night tour pairs adrenaline with a unique after-hours perspective of the ridgeline.
The Experience
Before You Go
Dress in layers for night temperatures
Temperatures drop after sunset—bring a windproof outer layer and a mid-layer to stay comfortable on exposed platforms.
Wear secure, closed-toe shoes
Sneakers or hiking shoes that stay on during a run keep your feet safe and help with climbing between platforms.
Secure cameras and phones
Use a wrist strap or a tether; loose devices are not allowed on most ziplines and can be hazardous.
Arrive early to complete waivers
Plan to arrive 20–30 minutes before your scheduled time for check-in, gear fitting, and the safety briefing.

Conservation Note
Operators typically minimize tree impacts by using bolted platforms and limit group sizes to reduce trail wear; visitors should pack out trash and stick to established paths to protect understory plants.
The ridges flyovers trace land once traveled by 19th-century settlers and later used for timber—modern tourism has repurposed those corridors for recreation and conservation.
