The high-flying adventure lets thrill-seekers zip through the treetops and over the Catawba River on a network of cables and pulleys – high above the forest floor. Participants start at the top of a 70-foot tower and trek across nine zip lines, three suspension bridges and a series of nature trails on a three-hour excursion. Regular price is $65 for adults and $60 for those under age 18.
