Description

Head off the beaten path with a guided UTV tour at WildSide Adventure Park, set on 900 acres of private Smoky Mountain wilderness just minutes from Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. This 90-minute off-road adventure takes you deep into rugged, forested terrain with no pavement in sight.

After a quick safety briefing and vehicle orientation at basecamp, you’ll get behind the wheel and follow your expert guide through more than 15 miles of winding trails filled with tight turns and thrilling off-road challenges. Explore undisturbed mountain ridges as you experience 1,500 feet of elevation change before reaching the summit at Raven’s Den for unobstructed views of Pigeon Forge and Mount LeConte.

The tour makes one designated stop along the route, giving you the opportunity to switch drivers halfway through. There will also be lots of opportunities to take photos along the way.

Choose the setup that fits your group, whether that’s the 2-Seater Maverick for a more responsive ride, the 4-Seater Maverick or 4-Seater Commander for small groups, or the 6-Seater Defender if you want everyone in one vehicle. If driving isn’t for you, the Ride Along with a Guide option lets you experience the trail from the passenger seat while a guide handles the driving.

Tours run rain or shine. Dress for the weather, wear closed-toe shoes, and get ready for a little mud on this adrenaline-filled off-road adventure at WildSide.

Dale and Rusty were great guides! The machines were in excellent condition and the trails were fun! Bring masks or bandanas as you will eat a lot of dust and be prepared to be dirty. My husband drove and he is experienced, I would have been nervous driving the course and trying to keep up with everyone.

Ziplining was on my daughter's list for our Smoky Mountain trip, but definitely not on mine, haha! I was encouraged when we pulled up and things looked tidy, sharp and well-run; the way you want a place to look when you put your life in their hands! I appreciated the practice zipline run, it was helpful to get the hang of it on the bottom of the hill. I won't lie, the drive up the hill was the most intense part for me. When I reached the top, I was happy to have an alternate way to get down the mountain! Our guide, Aaron, was great and reassuring, he took some photos that he later shared with us from the top. The experience itself was exhilarating and I would do it again in a heartbeat. We were assisted at the bottom by Christie and Tab and they were awesome, too. Great memory for mom and daughter!

We spent the day at Wildside today…Amazing!!! We had a group of 11, ages 4-70 and we all had a blast!!! We started out ATV’ing which exceeded our expectations. I was leery about doing a “guided tour” thinking it would be boring and to my surprise I was wrong! We drove up and down various courses on the mountain, all right on the edge on the mountain with plenty of twists and turns. They were great about showing you do’s and do not’s and the courses started you out slow and then you got right into it! When we got to the top of the mountain we got out and they took pictures of us 🙌🏻 Then, we went zip lining! Again…amazing!! The whole thing lasted about 90 min. You start with a practice zip line and then take a truck ride up to the top of the mountain. The actual zip lining was unbelievable!!! They made us feel very safe and were GREAT at explaining everything!!! The guides on BOTH excursions were so great, personable, knowledgeable and just awesome!!! I will definitely be coming back on my next trip out here!!! Thank you!!!

Mike and Noah were fantastic guides for our zipline adventure. At 65, this was my first zipline experience and it was fabulous! The instructions were clear and complete, the emphasis was on safety and having fun. There was a small practice zipline to prepare you for the big zip - the longest one in the U.S. I never felt anything but safe and secure and what fun it was! The scenery was beautiful. It couldn't have been a better experience. I highly recommend.

This place is top notch. They have invested a ton of money in this place and it shows. The mountain bike trails are amazing. The shuttle service is great and run extremely well. I can't wait to go back several times in 2026.
