One of the newest zipline companies in the area is also its first eco-friendly one, which means you’ll see more the untouched and undeveloped Smoky Mountain forest. Of course, that doesn’t mean you won’t enjoy a thrilling experience on their seven lines, which run up to 2,500 feet long and 450 feet off the ground.
This family-friendly activity center features the highest zipline around, the Goliath, which will take you 475 feet above Dunn’s Creek. Another course, the Scenic Canopy Tour, consists of seven lines, with one going 250 feet above a waterfall. There’s also the longest swinging bridge in the U.S, a climbing wall and hiking trails. Check into getting the all-inclusive packages to do it all.
The two guides who are part of every group here start you off gradually, or “low and slow.” You’ll then fly on higher and fastere lines, which are part of the longest zip course in town. Try the 800-foot long, 100-foot high side-by-side super zip lines, where you can race three others down to the bottom, but not before you’ve exhausted your excitement levels for the day.
While this establishment is more known for its whitewater rafting, its zipline facilities are quickly gaining in popularity. The best value for your money is scheduling your ziplining as the same day as your rafting trip. The canopy tour here will take you on six lines and two skybridges for a total of 2,400 feet.
You’ll be airborne for nearly 2½ hours, going on nine ziplines connected from one treetop to the next and three skybridges, after ascending 400 feet on a half-mile ATV ride up. There is also a surprise at the end of the tour, which isn’t revealed on the website. Simply enjoy the breathtaking landscape and the sensation of flying as you speed through the forest.
