Ride on more zip lines than in any other state in the East

Nearly 20 zip line (or canopy tour) attractions have cropped up in the past few years in North Carolina offering opportunities for swinging through lush treetops, past waterfalls and even over the snow. North Carolina’s rolling topography has made it the perfect breeding ground for zip line attractions. While heights and speeds can be breathtaking, swooshing between landing points is low-impact; the ride is naturally propelled by the gravity of your own body weight. There are even zip lines designed for kids as young as 3 years old.
