For those headed to the Ocoee River this summer, you will no longer be left out of the opportunity to experience the adventure of flying on ziplines. Located just 1 mile east of the Ocoee River Basin Adventure Center, our newest canopy tour adventure is scheduled to open late May to early June. Recently purchased 14 wooded acres just outside of Ducktown will eventually become part of the Ocoee River Basin Adventure Center, with a variety of outdoor adventure programs and services. First on the list is a wooded and tree based canopy tour with 10-12 zipline sections & numerous swinging sky bridges that highlight the vast history and beauty of this once barren landscape. Canopy Rangers will share both the history and the wonder of the recovery of this area from red clay back to deep green forest.
Age/Weight range: 10 years and 70 lbs to 250 lbs. Weight variations effect momentum when zipping. Canopy Rangers will provide instruction & back-up systems.
Each participant is provided with state of the art equipment including helmets, full body harnesses, trolley, gloves, tether lines, and 2 canopy rangers per group. This three-hour experience gives you over 1/2 mile of air time with:
Several Sky Bridges 10-12 zip line sections alternating between trees & elevated platforms
