North Carolina Is Home To The Country’s Most Underrated Snow Tubing Park And You’ll Want To Visit

The High Country in North Carolina doles out some extraordinarily fun wintertime activities. Among them is the family and group-friendly adventure of snow tubing. Not many people realize the largest snow tubing park on the entire East Coast is located just west of Boone, in the town of Seven Devils.

We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures!

It's here, at Hawksnest, that you'll find the biggest snow tubing park around. It has four different hills, and up to 30 snow tubing channels.

If you're new to snow tubing, here is one big tip: the more people you tie your tube with before going down the hill...

... the faster you'll go! It's a perfect activity for small to large groups to create some lasting memories in the snow.

At Hawksnest, you'll have one hour and 45 minutes to sail down as many runs as you can possibly fit into that time.

Remember that monumental hill you dreamed of as a child? Hawks Nest has four of them, including one that's perfect for the little ones in your group.

After reaching the bottom, you'll either hop on the carpeted lift to head back to the top, walk back up, or make your way over to yet another fun hill to try out.

With so many to choose from, it may be difficult to decide which to try first. Perhaps make your first run a solo endeavor (just to get used to it)...

... and then add everyone else so you'll get some real speed (and a lot of laughter) on the next time down the hill.

Hawksnest is even open for limited nighttime snow tubing. If you think it's fun in the daylight, try zipping down that hill at night for a even more thrilling adventure.

Remember to bring your friends... the more people you bring and tie tubes together... the faster you'll go!

Hawksnest is located at 2058 Skyland Dr., Seven Devils, NC 28604. Snow tubing is subject to weather conditions.
