Foxfire Mountain: Hiking & Swinging Bridge Family Adventure

One of the wonderful things about Foxfire Mountain are the beautiful trails and bridges that meander throughout the 150 acres of pristine forests, bubbling creeks, delightful Lost Mine Falls, beautiful vistas, and lazy creek-side treks. Throughout these easy to moderate trails you will cross multiple unique bridges from log bridges to covered bridges to cable bridges, including America's second-longest swinging bridge 70 feet above the east prong of the Little Pigeon River.

This Foxfire family fun adventure is great for all ages and even includes an on-the-ground obstacle course for both children and adults. With the pass, cross American's Swinging Bridge to Prosperity, which stretches 335 feet across Foxfire Gorge. Visit the Whispering Winds Covered Bridge, home to thousands of wishes hanging from the ceiling. Trek on miles of hiking trails with stops along the way at the Lost Mine Falls and the historic Sweden Furnace Iron Mine.

Check out the walking tree-top canopy tour in the Evergreen Grotto and hike through the trees. Challenge your kiddos at the Little Adventurer Obstacle Course. Stack some stones and build your very own cairn for good luck. Enjoy an easy stroll along the River Walk Trail and stop alongside Dunn's Creek for a leisurely picnic. Play a game of corn hole or just relax on the front porch in one of the comfy rockers.
