Historic Banning Mills

Experience guided eco‑friendly off‑road tours in electric SWINCAR “Eco‑Spider” vehicles on the wooded trails of Historic Banning Mills. Tours are hand‑control driven, low‑speed, and led by trained guides.

Tours last about 60–90 minutes, cross the 170‑foot Big Shoals suspension bridge above Snake Creek, and include guide photos; tandem and single vehicles are available with verified age and weight limits.

You’ll be briefed on hand controls, helmet use, and safety before hitting the trail. Guides keep speeds controlled and provide commentary on the property’s scenery and history.
