If You Live In North Carolina, You’ll Want To Visit This Amazing Park This Winter

Come winter, we’re all looking for a way to get involved in some sort of winter activity. The mountains are a bit out of reach in terms of hiking and if you live in the eastern region of the state, a day or more of sledding is a ‘fingers-crossed’ type deal. Even if you’re not adventurous enough to get out and go skiing or snowboarding, there’s still a way to completely immerse yourself in the thrill of plummeting down a mountain by the guide of snow and a trusty tube.

Hawksnest Tubing

Enter Hawksnest Tubing Park. It's the largest on the East Coast featuring four different tubing areas with 30 lanes that run from 400-1000 ft.

You also can't beat the stunning, surrounding mountain views as you fly down the mountain. The two carpet lifts take you back to the top so you can ride all day long. Recently, Hawksnest invested $200,000 in improvements - including better lighting that allows you to tube into the evening, lane grooming machines to make your ride smoother and faster, and state of the art snowmaking machines that create perfect conditions.

With 'high season' approaching, it's recommended to book in advance, especially if you're traveling for a day of tubing. All other ticket sales on the day of are first come first serve. Weekday tickets start as low as $27 for a two-hour session and weekends and holidays are at $34.

The best part about a day of tubing is that it’s a full day of winter adventure in a beautiful location! It not only brings back childhood memories, but creates new ones for the little ones. I remember the thrill of the first time I went tubing and I totally recommend a trip, at least once, for everyone in North Carolina.
