Tennessee is home to The Great Smoky
Mountains National Park. Here, in the most visited National Park in the U.S., visitors can off-road, hit the trails, and unleash
their inner WildSide on MegaZip, the
longest zipline in the U.S.
Bike Tennessee is a statewide cycling initiative featuring 52
handpicked road cycling routes designed to showcase small towns, natural
landscapes and hidden gems along Tennessee’s backroads, backed by a GPS app for
riders. Initiatives such as Waterfalls for All,
meanwhile, aim to make the state’s outdoor attractions accessible to all.
Johnson City’s Winged Deer Park Lakefront is the place to experience one
of the state’s active outdoor festival highlights. Visitors venturing to Meet the
Mountains Festival should be prepared to
kayak, paddle board, cast a fly rod, and even ride a mountain bike over an
obstacle course.
Other Tennessee adventures hubs
include the watery wonderland around Chattanooga – currently basking in
its new ‘National
Park City’ status – where
visitors can try their hand at ‘glow kayaking’, or paddle to Nickajack
Bat Cave. Guided fishing trips are available at Dale
Hollow Lake and the 43-mile-long Douglas Lake, in East Tennessee.
