As Tennessee's first zipline course, it features six distinct lines stretching over two miles through dense forest canopy, with platforms reaching 250 feet above ground for stunning mountain views.

The course operates rain or shine (except in severe weather), and tips for your guides are appreciated for exceptional service.
