5 Outdoor Adventures Within 2 Miles of a Pigeon Forge Cabin
One of the things we love most about Stay Wild Cabin is its location. We're tucked away on 2.5 private acres with mountain views, yet five outdoor adventure businesses are all within two miles of the cabin.
If you're visiting Pigeon Forge with family or friends, you can enjoy a morning adventure, return to the cabin for lunch, and still have plenty of time for the hot tub, fire pit or game rooms.
Here are five of our nearby favorites.
1. WildSide Adventure Park
About 0.2 miles from Stay Wild
WildSide is practically our neighbor!
This mountain adventure park offers guided UTV rides, mountain biking and its spectacular MegaZip experience.
It's an excellent choice for groups who want action-packed activities without spending much of the day driving.

For those who prefer to be in control of their own ATV, Gon Ridin' offers guided single-rider off-road tours.
Expect rugged trails, wooded terrain, changes in elevation and opportunities to get a little muddy.
Participants must be at least 16 years old, making this a better choice for adults and families with older teenagers.
