Off-Road Tours at Adventure Mountain

Get behind the wheel of a powerful Can-Am Maverick X3 Turbo off-road vehicle (ORV) and explore 220 acres of rugged mountain terrain on a guided tour unlike any other. At Adventure Mountain in Barnardsville, NC, just 20 minutes north of Asheville, you’ll climb more than 1,400 feet to panoramic ridgelines, splash through creeks, and navigate trails surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

What to Expect

Skill, Scenery, and a Whole Lot of Fun

Each Adventure Mountain off-road tour begins with a hands-on training session where you’ll learn how to operate your vehicle confidently. Once everyone is comfortable behind the wheel, your guide will lead the group through a series of trails that include:

Creek crossings and wooded switchbacks
Ridgeline trails with unforgettable mountain views

Our tours are not about speed—they’re about skill, teamwork, and discovering what makes off-roading so rewarding. Every tour includes real-time communication with your guide, ensuring an engaging and educational experience for drivers and riders alike.

Important Weather Note

Adventure Mountain Off-Road Tours operate rain or shine.

Trail conditions and routes may vary depending on the weather, but tours proceed except in the case of severe or unsafe weather, as determined by management.

Be prepared to get muddy—vehicles are open-air during warmer months. In cooler seasons, fully enclosed options are available. Our “heat” comes from the engine; our “A/C” is the mountain breeze.
