Have you always wanted to be like Tarzan, swinging through the trees, wind in your hair, zipping from tree to tree deep in the middle of the jungle?
Well, we’re missing the anacondas and the scary spiders. But we do have squirrels and mosquitoes and enormous Hemlocks with “vines” to zip from tree to tree. Ok, the vines are more like a double-cable system coated with nylon to make the zip smooth and quiet.
Our newly developed Canopy tour is structured to the natural surroundings of our facility. It was created with thorough site selection and surveying, environmental ground work and creating access points with minimal branch and brush removal. We focused on keeping nature unscathed
and used West Virginia’s natural beauty and complexity to create the course. We have been blessed with natural structures for our Canopy Tour creating a spiraling Zip Line Canopy Tour Course, unique and thrilling tour for everyone.

- TreeTops Canopy Tours are professionally guided tours.
- Tours consist of 8 guests and 2 tour guides per departure time.
- After signing a release (assumption of risk and indemnity form), a presentation about the equipment and procedures will be given to you & you will be fitted with a harness, helmet and gloves.
- Prior to departing on the tour, guides will clip you onto our 50 foot "trial" zipline (located 5 feet above the ground) for you to practice launching & landing techniques. We will also discuss the safety procedures we will be following during the tour.
- After you have completed the 'Ground School' you will walk to the first and only ground platform and get clipped to a cable for the first canopy zipline. You will spend the next three hours on the course.
- You will complete 10 ziplines. Ziplines vary in length from 100 feet to as long as 800 feet , with zip speeds of approximately 30 miles an hour (depending on the weight of the participant)!
- You will walk on 5 sky bridges, take 1 short hike to gain elevation (you need to be physically capable of walking up a 10% grade trail for 200 feet), take a leap of faith from the 'Rock Launch' and end your adventure with a rappell down from the final platform! A short shuttle brings you back to our Adventure Center.
