Tubing Adventure in the Great Smoky Mountains

Have you ever been to the Great Smoky Mountains? One of the most exciting ways to explore it, is to go TUBING down the mountain stream ~ so much fun!! Know before you go… (𝙎𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙛𝙪𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙫𝙚𝙡𝙨) 💧𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐔𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 moves a little faster and has two drops. Great for older kids and adults, but littles may need some help and a life jacket. The first drop is known to flip the tubes but if you lean back it seems to help balance it better. 💧 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 is much slower and more mellow. No drops and great for younger kids. You’ll spend a lot of the time trying to “un-stick” your tube from rocks since the water is really shallow. It’s a fun adventure!🤣 ✨Extra tip: The best entrance is the upper section so for those who don’t want to take that first drop or have younger kids but still want to do the whole River, you can just paddle to the side and walk around that part. Then hop back in the water. ✨Next post: a video reels of our tubing adventure! ➡️Follow @eastcoast.blondies for more tips, family time, and travel inspo! . . .
