The Zipline course at Hawksnest will be the longest on the east coast with over 2 miles of riding. Ride our 13 different cables taking you through the trees, over trees, over creeks and even over snow tubers during the winter months. Make sure you try our SuperZip cable that is over 2500 feet in length and over 200 feet high. The zipline course is set in the middle of some of the best views in the High Country. Zipline riding is an exciting and safe experience for the entire family; children must be 5 years old to ride. In addition to being the largest zipline course on the east coast we are also the best value. Check our rates against the others and we are sure Hawksnest Zipline will be the choice. Our course should be fully operational by the middle of June. Please call ahead for updates and reservations.
