Once you arrive, you will begin your journey on the Upper Pigeon River. This section offers class III/IV rapids and is full of twists and turns, exhilarating rapids, and gorgeous views. The second portion of your adventure will continue after a break for lunch. We do not provide lunch, so we do recommend bringing a picnic or stopping by any of our delicious food trucks.

Legacy Mountain boasts 7 ziplines, spanning 400 acres of beautiful Smoky Mountain terrain with views of Mt. Leconte and The Pinnacle. Soar 400 feet above the treetops, flying up to 40 mph speeds with zips spanning 450 to 3,400 feet, making this one of the best ziplines in East, TN! Please keep in mind that if you book both adventures in one day, that there is a 1-hour drive between Sevierville and Hartford. If immersing yourself in nature is more to your liking, then combine a river expedition with a historic horseback tour through a 70-acre park at the foot of the Smoky Mountains. Our Paddle and Saddle package allows guests to experience some of the most loved adventures in the Smoky Mountains. After you’ve had your experience down the Pigeon River get ready for a horse-back riding experience like no other with Five Oaks Riding Stables. You will enjoy a 6-mile horseback ride through the foothills of the beautiful Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The trails give spectacular views of Mt. Leconte, as well as mountain streams, wildlife, and a gorgeous spring-fed lake. Experience the history of the Appalachian people on horseback, riding on pioneer trails and seeing the remnants of a moonshine still.
