About this Adventure

Tale of the Dragon- Twists, turns, and thick woods, this drive isn’t about scenic overlooks or nature. The Tail of the Dragon is about you, the pavement, and two white knuckles grasping the steering wheel.

Considered one of the most exciting roads in America, with 318 curves in 11 miles you will figure out why. Come see why it’s world renowned, and why the locals call it “that damn road to Tennessee”.

Make sure to see the Fontana Dam, the largest dam east of the Rockies! The Tapoco Lodge outside of Robbinsville NC is a great stop for food and drinks!

Recommended time: 4-8 hrs.

Use of a Polaris vehicle is part of the rental fee. Helmets are provided - and required - for all riders on all Adventures. Appropriate, vehicle-specific safety gear is provided. Navigation equipment is provided.
