One of the most popular attractions of Skylift Park is the Skybridge.
The SkyBridge at SkyliftPark
The Skybridge is the longest pedestrian suspension bridge in all of North America.
It is a great way to see the smoky mountains. The bridge is quite impressive to walk across.
There is even a section that has see-through glass floors so you can see straight down!
We walked across the bridge a few times and enjoyed the views during the day and at night.
The skytrail is always worth walking. It provides beautiful views of the Smokey mountains and is a nice walk.
The skytrail also brings you to a lookout tower with some small bridges.
We recommend doing both the SkyTrail and the Skybridge.
