Chattooga Ridge Canopy Tours

A Zip Through the Trees & Over Academy Lake

Enjoy a soaring and gliding experience naturally fueled by a gradual elevation change in Upstate Long Creek, SC. It takes limited energy to participate and is not designed to scare with big drops as much as excite with smooth gliding treetop views. Chattooga Ridge Canopy Tours opened early March, 2010 and is the first zipline/canopy tour facility in the area.

Each participant is provided with state of the art equipment including helmets, full body harnesses, trolley, gloves and tether lines. 2 canopy rangers per group.

This Brand New three-hour experience gives you over 1/2 mile of air time with:
* Hoist up onto our Triceratops platform to start the canopy tour
* 4 bridges
* 10 zip line sections between trees & elevated platforms
* 4 Academy Lake crossings with optional wet zip
* Over 9 scenic and historic acres of flying area all within the setting of Wildwater's Chattooga Rafting Center and Academy Lake

All flyers will need to arrive wearing tee shirts, longer shorts or pants and require closed toed shoes. Harness seats will wrap around your upper thigh, shoulders, and waist so collared shirts and pants will be more comfortable.  You will be wearing a helmet, so ball caps are not recommended. Long hair must be tied back and secured and please leave your cell phones in the car.

All flyers must be in reasonably good physical condition.  Please do not participate if you are pregnant.  Chronic back or shoulder injuries should consult a physician. No hard or soft casts. Flyers must be able to raise their arms over head to self regulate speed and braking.  Canopy Rangers will provide safety instruction & back-up systems.

Age/Weight range: 10 years and 70 lbs to 250 lbs.  Weight variations effect momentum when zipping.  Canopy Rangers will provide instruction & back-up systems.

Cost: $69/person   Groups of 12 or more: $59/person
