Snow tubing during the colder months is extremely popular, but many don’t realize that summer tubing is just as exciting! You can soar down the hill and feel the fresh air on your face, enjoy scenic views from the top of the mountain, and simply soak up the sun’s rays and gorgeous weather. 

How big is your outdoor tubing hill?

The outdoor tubing hill here at Rowdy Bear is Tennessee’s first, fastest, and longest year-round tubing hill. It’s over 500 feet long, and the 70-foot drop at the end ensures maximum thrills and speed. In fact, you can reach speeds of up to 35 miles per hour! You won’t find a better place to experience the feeling of flying, with adrenaline coursing through your veins!

Can I connect my tube with others in my group? 

Yes! Riding down the hill is fun by yourself, but why not take things up a notch? You can connect up to 2 tubes and experience the thrilling ride together. Have 2 more members in your group go down in the lane next to you and race to see who reaches the bottom first!
