The Experience

Before You Go

Book early for peak season

Tours are small-group and likely to sell out in summer and fall — reserve at least a week in advance for weekend slots.

Wear closed-toe shoes and layers

Sturdy sneakers and breathable layers ensure comfort during platforms and the short hikes between lines.

Hydrate and eat a light meal

A full stomach can be uncomfortable on fast zips, but you’ll need energy for the walk-ins and to stay warm between lines.

Listen to safety briefings

Guides provide braking and body-position instruction critical for speed control and smooth landings.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Stand on the highest downstream platform for an unobstructed ridge view of the Smokies at sunrise.
  • Explore short park trails after your tour to spot native wildflowers and quiet creek crossings away from the zipline traffic.

Wildlife

  • Wild turkey

Conservation Note

The park is managed for low-impact recreation and operators limit group sizes; follow Leave No Trace principles and avoid disturbing wildlife or vegetation.

Sevierville and its surroundings recall an Appalachian past of small farms and timber; nearby towns preserve music and craft traditions that shaped regional tourism.
