The Downhill Tubing Adventure In North Carolina That’s Unlike Any Other

Even though North Carolina is home to the largest snow tubing park on the East Coast, this seasonal activity isn't typical something you can do all year round. Luckily, there's a way to still enjoy summer snow tubing in North Carolina - just without the snow. At Highlands Outpost (formerly known as Scaly Mountain Outdoor Center) in North Carolina, there's an epic downhill tubing adventure known as turf tubing, and it's a fun activity you'll want to do again and again! Here's everything you need to know about tubing at Highlands NC:

Highlands Outpost is located about ten miles southwest of Highlands, NC. Here, you can enjoy a downhill summer snow tubing run you'll want to ride again and again.

If you've never been turf tubing, then don't let summer pass you by without heading to western North Carolina. Tubing at Highlands, NC is such a thrilling way to spend a day!

Everyone in the family can participate, as long as they are at least four years old and over 42 inches tall. Going downhill tubing on this epic hill will conjure up deep belly laughs as you move up and over the humps along the way.

It's an adventure even Mom and Dad will enjoy. The fast turf tubes are powered by gravity and kept on track by artificial turf and special tread that keeps the tube on the track until the end of the run.

And when you've finished tubing, be sure to check out the Mountain Coaster shown above.

But back to tubing... The ride goes by fast and before you know it, you'll be making your way back to the top of the hill for yet another run. The cost of admission includes one or two full hours of ride after ride depending on how much you choose to pay.

Getting to the top of the hill is easy peasy, thanks to the magic carpet lift that will take you back up to the top. How many times will you race down the hill?

This experience of downhill tubing at Highlands, NC is the perfect way to enjoy a warm summer day.
