The center is well known for its whitewater rafting but did you know there is a 30 mile hiking/biking trail system which is touted as having one of the premier mountain biking trail systems in the southern United States knows as The Tanasi Trail System?  Enjoy leisurely rides on a level double track trail or a blistering high-speed race down a single-track trail.
