ZIP LINE FAQS

What should I wear while zip lining?

Closed-toed shoes are a requirement. 

  • This means sneakers or boots with a full heel/back. No crocs, sandals, or 5-toed shoes allowed. People with improper footwear will not be allowed to go on tour and no refunds will be given. 

Dress appropriately for the weather.

  • Comfortable clothes are recommended. We zip line rain or shine so wear clothes you don’t mind getting a little wet or sweaty. You will be wearing a harness that goes around your waist and thighs so we recommend wearing clothes that will cover those areas. Short shorts and tube tops are not recommended. Please wear shorts under dresses or skirts. Wear layers in cold weather. 

Secure long hair.

  • You don’t want hair to get tangled in the equipment. Helmets are required, so a low ponytail, bun, or braid is the most comfortable. It is permitted to wear thin bandanas, beanies, or other head coverings under your helmet.

Glasses and sunglasses can be worn.

  • If you plan on taking them off during the tour, we recommend a strap. They may break if you put them in your pocket.

Do not wear loose articles of clothing, dangling jewelry, or large hoop earrings.

How safe are your zip line tours?

We have years of experience, and our guides are all CPR, Wilderness First Aid, and High Ropes Rescue trained. We meet or exceed all ACCT and PRCA guidelines. Our course is constantly checked and rechecked as well as inspected by an outside ACCT certified inspector. You will not find a safer or more experienced zip line canopy tour course in the United States (besides our other locations). Guaranteed!

Our course uses the Vertical Trek Innovations Continuous Belay System which allows for seamless transitioning between zip lines, bridges, high rope elements, platforms, and much more all while maintaining a life-rated connection. This continuous belay system holds the highest safety ratings in the industry and is trusted by over 500 zipline courses worldwide. Unlike many other belay systems, Vertical Trek Innovations does not allow accidental disconnects while on the course. 

Learn more about our safety standards.

Are there any health conditions that would exclude me from participating?

Ziplining is not for those with recent surgeries, joint or bone injuries, heart conditions, pregnant women (beyond the first trimester), moderate to severe muscular-skeletal problems, or severe arthritis. This list is not complete and any guest with medical problems should notify the staff and consult their own MD for participation recommendations. If you require fast-acting medication (like epinephrine), bring the medication with you on the tour and make your guide aware of your condition before departure.

Do I need to be in good shape?

You should be prepared for some light to moderate physical activity such as climbing stairs, crossing bridges, and walking short distances over uneven terrain. A certain level of physical mobility is required for this course. Participants will be required to extend their arms and actively use their hands when steering, braking, and in proper zipline position. Participants are required to have full range of motion, average balance capabilities, use of both of their upper and lower extremities, be able to hear, see, and understand verbal commands and hand signals, and must be capable of understanding, retaining, and obeying verbal instructions.

The Crazy Squirrel Aerial Adventure Course Tier 2 is more physically challenging with up to 35 obstacles. We recommend you have good balance and can use your upper body strength to steady yourself.

What if I “chicken out?”

This is an aerial adventure designed to help confront and overcome fears while providing thrills and fun. Please consider what this activity is and how you/your child might react to heights and challenges before purchasing a ticket.

Should you discover that a course is too much for you, you may opt out of completing it. However, please keep in mind that by booking your course you took the slot of another paying guest. The guides scheduled for your course still must be paid. As such, you will still be charged for level 1 plus a credit card processing fee. Thanks for your understanding of our “no go” policy.

How long will my tour take?

Tour durations are listed with each level, the exact number of zip lines and sky bridges may vary depending on the route taken. Tour times are estimates and can vary depending on group size and other factors.

Is water provided?

Yes. We have water points throughout the tour. Be prepared to go over an hour without water.

Is there a place to view friends and family that are on the course?

Some of the zip lines are visible around the lodge area but most are amongst the trees and would not be visible. You can ask your tour guide where a good spot might be to see your group. You can watch your group go through the Crazy Squirrel Aerial Adventure Course.

Do I have to accompany my child on the tour?

For zip line tours: Children can go unaccompanied as long as they meet the age and weight requirements listed with each level.

For the Crazy Squirrel Aerial Adventure Tier 1: Children ages 4-10 must be accompanied by an adult on the course. Children ages 11 and up may go unaccompanied but must be able to reach a height of 44 inches.

*Flight of the Falcon Preflight Check: Please note, that high outside temperatures change cable elasticity and may prohibit some of our heavier guests from participating! Our zip line facilitators check the elasticity of this zip line before each tour to ensure a safe rider envelope through our tree canopy and when approaching the receiving platform. The maximum participant weight limit decreases as the cable becomes more elastic. This is measured to ensure every guest’s and guide’s safety.

**Note on Terminator Corner Booking: If you just want to do the Terminator course only, we will open the course for a group of 10 or more at a rate of $49.00 per person
