This course is directly across the street from Tanger Five Oaks Factory Outlet Center, providing a great option for those seeking adventure while others enjoy outlet shopping savings. www.adventureparkatfiveoaks.com Wahoo Adrenaline Park is another adrenaline-fueled way to enjoy the beauty of the great outdoors.

2) View the leaves from above with Scenic Helicopter Tours. Take a quick flight over the foothills or venture into Great Smoky Mountains National Park for a birds-eye-view view of the park’s incredible fall foliage. Flights range from $9 per person for an introductory experience to flying over a large portion of the national park (approximately 100 miles). www.flyscenic.com
