10:41 am Day Quest at Doe River Gorge scheduled on select Saturdays
Hundreds of people have already been heading to Doe River Gorge this summer for a day filled with fun and adventure! On select Saturdays throughout the summer families and groups can zip down a 700-foot water-landing zipline, get blasted by The Blob, swim in a mountain lake, play on the white-sand beach, or enjoy one of the new lake activities for 2012: Jungle Joe and The Rockit.

Doe River Gorge opens up the man-made lake during Day Quest for families and groups to enjoy a day of fun in the sun.
If your adrenaline still needs charging, engage in a battle at the paintball course, enjoy a guided horseback trip along beautiful trails, play a game of sand-court volleyball, or seize the 9-hold disc golf course. When you’re ready to slow down, take a scenic train ride on the historic rails of the former East Tennessee & Western North Carolina Railroad, where you will see some of the most majestic scenery in the Eastern United States. You can also play tether ball, corn hole, go hiking, eat a delicious lunch, enjoy snacks, check out the gift shop, and much more.
