Lancaster Zipline at Refreshing Mountain Camp

Ascend into the emerald canopy of the Lancaster trees on the Zipline at Refreshing Mountain Camp, an exhilarating ride that offers both the serenity of near-flight in the forest and the thrill of towering heights.

The course is approximately 1 ½ hours and includes a series of platforms and cables between 10 and 60 feet from the forest floor. Zipping on a total of five lines, guests will go from platform to platform and will complete the High Adventure Challenge halfway through the course. The final platform is nestled into a large red oak tree, and guests will zip from there over the pond and safely to the ground. The course is extremely safe, with “Dialed In” gravity stops at every line that take care of braking for you. Every line on the course is backed up with double security cables, and each guest is securely harnessed and helmeted.

After a few quick steps you will be on your first platform, where you’ll rush past the native greenery to the High Ropes Course. There, you’ll take a 70 foot high cat walk. As you sail by the massive trees, you can identify over 20 different varieties. Keep an eye out for the native wildlife that forage about the grounds, as the zip line offers incomparable views of the thriving woodlands.

For the thrill-seekers in the group, you’ll also encounter 9 High Adventure Challenge elements, like a climb across a vertical cargo net, a walk on the “Indiana Jones” rope bridge and a Tarzan-like swing on the Monkey Vines. All of these activities take place while safely secured on a cable and harness, so even the most cautious guests can become high-flying adventurers.

A certain camaraderie is fostered 70 feet up amongst the Lancaster trees, and even those who are afraid of heights will find themselves enjoying the natural scenery and smooth zip ride. You’ll learn about the colorful plant-life, the native animals, and will perhaps even learn a little something about yourself on this exciting zip line at Refreshing Mountain Camp.
