one of our top-end mountain bikes and learn the meaning of “flow”
on our on-site trail system created and groomed for the KOLO
Bike Park. Looking for a unique and exciting challenge? Then head
up into the trees at Asheville Treetops Adventure Park, an elevated obstacle course with five levels of difficulty. Bringing the kids?
Check out KidZip, America’s first zipline adventure designed for
kids under 10.
Asheville Treetops Adventure
Park: One of Asheville’s newest attractions
is comprised of 60 unique climbing, zipping, walking,
jumping, swinging, and rappelling challenges
anchored to over 30 trees and towering poles
tucked into a wooded park just minutes from
downtown Asheville.
Canopy Adventures: Take
flight
on a zipline canopy tour just minutes from
downtown Asheville, set amongst 150+ year old
majestic white and red oaks. Asheville Zipline
Canopy Adventures offers the best of many worlds.
It is convenient and exciting, while being in town
with views of downtown Asheville. However, it’s
also located on a 124 acre resort and designated
tree preserve perched in and among some of the
oldest and largest oak trees in Asheville.
Kolo Bike Park + Rentals:
Here you’ll find about 4 miles of purposebuilt mountain bike trails on rolling terrain designed
for all levels of riders. Whether you’re just learning
or looking to push your limits, Kolo Bike Park has a
trail for you. Bike rentals are available for on or off
property use. Choose from mountain, road, hybrid
and kids bikes. Car racks are also available.
KidZip:
The newest addition to the
Adventure Center of Asheville. It’s America’s
first zipline adventure designed for kids under
10. Kids as young as 4 (with an adult escort) can
experience the same high flying action that the
zipline canopy tours offer, just a bit closer to the
ground.
Quick Jump: The ultimate adrenaline
rush at The Adventure Center of Asheville that
is unprecedented in the Asheville area. After gearing
up in a full body harness and reaching the pinnacle of
the 65-foot Jinga Canopy Tower, prepare to take that
big step for an intense rush. Free fall 15 feet before
the “Quick Jump” device gradually slows you down
and lowers you the remaining distance. This heart
pounding adventure is memorable but quick, so plan
to try it twice. Two Quick Jumps are available side by
side, so find a friend, spouse, sibling or child to scream
your lungs out with!
Whitewater Rafting: Wildwater
is a pioneer of Guided Rafting trips in the
Southeast. Flowing out of the Great Smoky
Mountain National Park just 45 minutes from
Asheville, the Pigeon River has two exciting
whitewater rafting options. The Upper Pigeon
features splashy Class III Rapids for ages 8 and up
and the Lower Pigeon River is characterized by
easier whitewater great for ages 4 and up.
