Snow tubing in the Tar Heel State is an easy, low-impact activity that basically the entire family can enjoy. But where do you find the biggest snow tubing park with the longest snow tubing run in North Carolina?

The longest snow tubing run in North Carolina — and for that matter, the largest snow tubing park in the southeast — features 30 runs in four different areas, including seven runs that are so long, you can’t see the end of the run from the top of the hill.
Facebook/Hawksnest Snow Tubing At longer than three football fields combined, the longest runs at Hawksnest measures 1,000 screaming feet and you’ll want to add this adventure to your bucket list, if you haven’t already.
Prepare to fly down the snow covered hill on a tube made just for the occasion.
Hawksnest Snow Tubing Visitors purchase tubing time in blocks of one hour, forty-five minutes and have unlimited access to all four areas to tube as many times as desired in the allotted time.
Want to go even faster? Daisy chain your family’s tubes together and get ready to sail down the mountain.

If you’ve never tubed before and you’re wondering how you get back up the mountain… at Hawksnest, you’ll simply hop on one of three carpeted conveyor lifts and ride back to the top.

And if you have little members that would benefit from something a little less thrilling, you can rest assured there’s a run for them in one of the other three tubing areas.

Hawksnest opens each winter as soon as it’s cold enough to make snow to cover the runs — or, as soon as Mother Nature does her thing. Either way, you can check out the official website for updates on opening days. It also features a webcam so you can see a live feed of the snowy conditions.
