Zip lining is the best way to experience a grand adventure while soaring over the treetops and enjoying New England's beautiful scenery. Zip lining is a fun and exhilarating adventure that lets you ride through the air while attached to cable lines, in the safety of a harness. Zip lining was originally made popular in Jamaica and South America, but it is now zip a very popular new sports activity in New England and is available at numerous locations. It’s an unforgettable family experience.
Some venues offer a single zip line ride for a brief, high-speed thrill, while “canopy tours” provide a 1-3 hour journey as you soar from platform to platform on a series of zip lines while learning about the natural setting around you.
There are various places in New England where you can experience the fun of zip lining. Just in the state of Maine you can visit Sugarloaf, Monkey Trunks Extreme Ariel Adventure and Sunday River. Sunday River offers a series of six lines ranging from 100 to 300 feet in length to take you flying through the woods, and over a ravine at speeds up to 25 miles per hour. You can also walk over to the 750-foot Twin Zips to finish your tour.
I have only been zip lining once in New Hampshire at the Bretton Woods Canopy Tour. I would recommend this zip line to anyone! All of the adventure guides were very friendly and helped you to quickly learn the steps needed to be taken in order to be successful at zip lining. The Bretton Woods Canopy Tour is the longest zip line canopy tour in New England and one of the longest canopy tours in the continental United States. High-flying suspension bridges and hiking trails connect the zip lines, and the tour concludes with the Williwaw Racing Zip, a dual, side-by-side zip line leading right into the Bretton Woods base area. Adventure guides describe the native flowers and trees, in addition to discussing the surrounding area, its natural history and White Mountain lore.
