Zip Line Canopy Tour Descriptions

It is no wonder the Delaware Native Americans made summer camp on this beautiful 500 acres nestled in the hills of Brown County.  eXplore the dense hardwood forest which provides a unique habitat for both plants and animals.  Our guides will share our environmental concerns including endangered species living in the area.  Learn how Delaware Native Americans roamed this property until the Treaty of the Ten O’clock Line pushed them further West. Later, settlers built log homes here, serving as a record of our Brown County history. Guides will share the historical past while you zip through the treetop canopy observing a setting barely touched by time.

There are 4 tours to choose from: eXplorer Tour zips #4-8 | Zip On Tour zips #1-3, 9 & 10 | The Screamer! Super 1220' Tour zips #9 & 19 and the Night Flight Tour zips #1-3. You will begin the adventure with a rugged ride into the dense forest in an all-terrain, 10 wheel drive, Vietnam War Era 2 ½ ton Military Deuce. Bring a group of 8-10 and safari ride 1/2 mile to the top in our Classic 1969 Fire Truck.
