| Here at Hawksnest Zip Lines we offer the longest and best zip line canopy tour in the region. Our high elevations of 4500` make for mountains of fun and spectacular views! We currently offer 10 zip lines (including two super or MEGA zips) that create a 1.5 miles of course with some lines zipping you from 30 to 150` off the ground at speeds from 25-30 mph! Our cables range from 300` to 1800` in length and that creates a LOT of squeals from fans! Experience the biggest and best with the most spectacular views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. And we are adding up to EIGHT more lines during the summer of 2011. You won`t find a better zip line canopy tour in Western North Carolina, North Georgia, Gatlinburg, Tennessee or anywhere else on the East Coast. We have a huge observation deck off from our mountaintop lodge for after your zipping sessions! |
