SNOW TUBING
Black Bear Snow Tubing in Hendersonville, NC offers a snow tubing experience that stands out for its combination of thrilling runs and family-friendly charm. The park features a 600-foot-long tubing hill with an 80-foot vertical drop, delivering fast, exciting descents that are suitable for both kids and adults. What makes it especially unique is the ability to operate in both cold and warm weather seasons—thanks to special synthetic lanes and top-tier snowmaking equipment. A conveyor lift, known as the “tube tugger,” pulls riders and their tubes back to the top of the hill, so visitors can spend more time enjoying the ride and less time hiking uphill. With sessions offered in one- or two-hour blocks and group rates available, it’s an ideal destination for families, school groups, and casual thrill-seekers.
What truly sets Black Bear apart is its warm, welcoming atmosphere and thoughtful amenities. As a locally owned and operated venue, the park emphasizes comfort and ease—from a cozy heated lodge with snacks and hot drinks to friendly, attentive staff who keep everything running smoothly. There’s even a small playground for younger children, making it a great place to spend an entire afternoon outdoors. Whether you’re zipping down the lanes or sipping hot cocoa by the fire, Black Bear Snow Tubing delivers a winter experience that’s exciting, accessible, and full of small-town mountain charm.
