This activity will have you flying through the treetops at high speed, giving you an adrenaline rush and an opportunity to view the North Georgia Mountains from a unique vantage point. If you want a little bit of adventure and a fast-paced sightseeing opportunity, then a North Georgia zip line trip might be right for you!
About Zip Lining
Although zip lining has been popular for several years, some people are still unfamiliar with the activity. A zip line, sometimes referred to as a zip wire, is a pulley suspended on a cable which is mounted on an incline. The rider of the zip line, therefore, uses gravity to propel himself or herself down the line. The rider makes the trip down the line holding onto or using equipment to attach to the pulley which will move down the incline. There are many ways in which zip lines can be set up. A series of zip lines through designated area combine to make courses, and other obstacles like ropes can be included in some courses. Now that you know a bit more about the concept, you can start planning your own North Georgia zip line ride!
Where to Ride a North Georgia Zip Line
Here at Glen-Ella Springs, we always like to refer our guests to Sunburst Stables. Not just a place to enjoy a horseback ride (although those are always fun!), Sunburst Stables offers a variety of adventurous activities to visitors. Their North Georgia zip line tours are a great way to spend an afternoon. The zip line tour at Sunburst Stables consists of two miles of cables hung through leafy trees and are suitable for everyone with a sense of adventure, as there is no experience required! The tour takes you through the trees, over a sawmill, through a goldmine cave, over ponds and pastures, and other picturesque scenery. The goldmine line is the only cave zip line around and you’ll get the thrill of zipping through the cool cave in complete darkness. Then there is a chance to race your companions and go through a fountain at the end of the tour. There truly is a lot of fun to be had here!
