Things To Do

Ten ziplines, one suspended bridge, and three short nature walks allow you to fully appreciate the mountains, the trees, the lake and all that this area has to offer! The end of the zipline will end at the beautiful Camp Cedar Creek, where visitors will be shuttled back to headquarters.
