Tackle A 10-Story-High Snow Tubing Hill At Hawksnest In North Carolina This Year
When the first real snow falls in North Carolina, it’s time to start planning some outdoor winter activities – including snow tubing. Unlike skiing or snowboarding, you don’t really need any experience or skills to go tubing in the snow. Just show up and let the tube and gravity do all the work. Most people don’t realize the largest snow tubing park on the entire east coast is found right here in North Carolina. If you’ve never been to Hawksnest, then make this the season you check it out!

With more than 30 tubing lanes and four different runs featuring varying terrain, Hawksnest is the primo tubing resort in the Tar Heel State.
The tubing runs measure from 400 to 1,000 feet long and are among the longest in the state. That 1,000-foot run drops at whopping 10 stories from top to bottom.
Not only does Hawksnest have state of the art snow making equipment, it also has ample lighting on all of the snow tubing lanes so the fun can go way into the evening.
While you're there, take a zipline tour. It's a fantastic way to see all of the snow from high above the terrain!
