Sevierville: 7-Line Zipline Tour with Smoky Mountain Views

Summary

Zip through Sevierville’s wild air on seven lines with mountain views

You’ll feel your heart race as you zip across seven lines high above Sevierville Nature Park, catching glimpses of the Smoky Mountains between bursts of laughter (and maybe nerves). With guides who keep things light and gear included, you’ll end up with shaky legs and some wild stories to tell.

What’s the experience like?

“You’re sure you’ve got me?” I asked, half-laughing as the harness clicked shut. Our guide, Marcus, just grinned and nudged me toward the first platform — honestly, my palms were sweating more than I’d admit. The Smoky Mountains stretched out in that hazy blue way they do, and I could smell pine and something sweet in the air (honeysuckle?). We were high enough up that the wind had a bite, but it felt good. There was a family from Knoxville ahead of us — their youngest kept bouncing on his toes like he couldn’t wait to fly.

The first zipline shot me over the trees so fast I forgot to breathe for a second. It’s loud — not scary loud, just this whoosh and your own heartbeat thumping in your ears. Marcus yelled something about looking left for a view but honestly, my eyes watered so much I barely caught it. By the third line, though, I started to relax into it. The cables hum when you pick up speed (I think they said 50 mph at one point?), and there’s this moment halfway across where you can see all seventy acres of Sevierville Nature Park below — patches of sunlight moving over the grass and these tiny dots of people waving up at us.

I tried to say “thank you” in Mandarin to one of the other guides (Li), because she’d helped adjust my helmet earlier. She laughed — probably because I butchered it — but she gave me a thumbs up anyway. Somewhere around line six, we all started joking about who screamed loudest (it wasn’t me… probably). My hands smelled like metal from gripping the pulley too tight, and there was this weird mix of nerves and giddiness every time we landed on a new platform. The last line is long — almost 2,000 feet? It feels endless while you’re out there.

I still think about that view back toward the mountains right before stepping off the final platform. Not sure if it was relief or just plain awe or both. Either way, if you’re looking for a real zipline tour in Sevierville with actual mountain air in your lungs — well, this is it.
