There are so many ways to experience the beautiful scenery of Snake Creek Gorge! At Historic Banning Mills, normal hiking trails just don't cut it! We allow you to experience this beautiful location from the air on our sky bridges. We have created an entire eco tour experience in the sky with over 90 bridges, some exceeding 700 feet in length!

We have 2 categories of bridges:

  • Suspension Bridges that connect our 15 + miles of  hiking trails that don't require any safety gear!
  • Suspension Bridges on our Zip Line Canopy Tours that are an amazing part of our Eco-Canopy experience that require participants be in a harness connected to our closed belay system.
