Overview

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.

What to Expect

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.

Look out for:

  • Riding electric SWINCAR “Eco‑Spider” vehicles on natural trails and boardwalks.
  • Crossing the Big Shoals suspension bridge, 170 feet above Snake Creek.
  • Guide‑shot photos sent via email and optional helmet camera rental.
  • Accessibility options: hand controls and wheelchair‑transfer‑friendly vehicles (contact ahead to arrange).

Best way to experience it:

Book at least two people if possible (adventure tours require a two‑participant minimum), bring a valid driver’s license if you plan to drive, wear closed‑toe shoes, and arrive ready to sign a waiver. Expect a leisurely 60–90 minute guided outing suitable for first‑time off‑road riders.

  • Weight limits: single max 285 lb; tandem combined max 450 lb.
