There are many ways to enjoy the wilderness of Eastern Tennessee, from camping to hiking and rafting. However, we believe the best way to experience this region is on our ATV rides.
Our ATVs allow you to go deeper into the unknown wilderness and reach places that would be inaccessible to most vehicles. It also allows you to see more of the trails faster than you would on foot.

Enjoy Panoramic Views
As you ascend the trails, prepare yourself for the breathtaking panoramic views that await. Tennessee's landscape is renowned for its beauty, but seeing it from our tours' vantage points is entirely different. From these heights, you'll witness the grandeur of rolling hills stretching into the distance, forests teeming with life, and the beauty of valleys bathed in sunlight or shrouded in mist.
Witness Amazing Wildlife
Tennessee's diverse ecosystems are home to various wildlife, and our ATV tours offer a unique way to see these creatures in their natural habitat. From whitetail deer to the myriad native bird species that fill the skies with their songs, nature's spectacle unfolds before you. Witnessing these creatures is often one of the best parts of each tour.

What Makes Our Great Smoky Mountains Adventures Special?
The Great Smoky Mountains, which sit along the border between North Carolina and Tennessee, hold a special allure that transcends scenic beauty. This majestic range, part of the Appalachian Mountains, is renowned for its rich biodiversity, cultural history, and the mesmerizing smoky mist that gives it its name. Our ATV rides allow you to experience this mountain range in all its glory. See why this range holds a special place in American history.
Exquisite Biodiversity
One of the most defining characteristics of the Smokies is their biological diversity. The range is home to over 17,000 documented species, and thousands more could be uncovered. Some of the animals you can expect to find include:
- Elk
- Black bears
- Wild turkeys
- Coyotes
- River otters
- And so many more
We often get to see many of these creatures on our tours in their native habitats. This is a rare opportunity that you won't want to miss.
A Distinct Smokey Haze
The Great Smoky Mountains are renowned for their picturesque, mist-covered peaks, which give the impression of smoke. This "smoke" is actually a natural fog that clings to the mountains, giving them their name and an ethereal beauty. This mist is a natural byproduct of the lush, biodiverse vegetation that blankets the mountains, which forms when water vapor mixes with natural compounds released by plant life.
The area's high humidity levels and the difference in temperature between the air and the bodies of water in the region also lead to condensation, further enhancing the smoky effect. This smokey haze is not only beautiful but also helps maintain the moisture levels in this diverse ecosystem. On our guided ATV tours, you'll get to see this phenomenon in person.
One of the Oldest Mountain Ranges
The Appalachian Mountains are one of the oldest mountain ranges in the world and offer a rich tapestry of history and natural beauty. Our tours carve a path through this ancient landscape, revealing the rugged beauty that has stood the test of time. Each trail tells a story, allowing you to glimpse into our planet's geological history.
Why Choose a Guided ATV Tour?
While some companies offer ATV rentals, where you go off on your own, there are many reasons to choose a guided tour instead of an ATV rental. When you choose an ATV rental from Gon Ridin' Off Road, our tour guides will be with you for the entire trip. That allows you to explore further and get help with your ATV if you get stuck, and it ensures that you will see all the sights our trail system has to offer.

An Adventure Tailored to Your Preferences
There is no shortage of things to see in this picturesque region. Whether you want to take it easy and explore the wilderness or are up for a high-speed challenge, our tour guides will help you create an adventure that suits you.
We Ride Rain or Shine
Eastern Tennessee is known for its lush beauty and roaring rivers. However, all the greenery is a result of an intense wet season. During the summer, we get almost daily rainfall and will ride rain or shine unless there is thunder and lightning.

What Our Guests Are Saying
This was such a great experience, Jay and Denim were the best tour guides ever. We loved every single bit of this tour!😍
We had a great time! Jay and Lee were great guides and took care of all of us. These are mountain trails you’re going up and down (some steep) and they guided us all through all of them safely. If you ever feel unsure and want to stop the guides will help you get your ATV off to the side of the trail and let you ride with them on the back the rest of the way.The views at the top are amazing and you get to stop and take pictures which is great!
