Our zip line course was designed to accommodate a wide variety of participants ages 4 and up, weighing up to 260lbs. Children as young as 2 may participate if they fit appropriately in the equipment (Please call before reserving for children under 4). Our tours are not designed for animals, and they cannot be left unattended on CRF property; please make other arrangements for those loveable pets during your tour.

Participants who weigh under 75lbs may need extra weight in order to make it through all of our ziplines. We allow these guests to ride Tandem (with a partner) on some or all of our ziplines. Tandem riders may be attached to anyone of their choosing in the tour, so long as their combined weight is under 260lbs. Guests who weigh under 45lbs must ride tandem on all 6 ziplines. Guests who weigh more than 45lbs may ride at least 3 of the ziplines by themselves. Please call our office if you have any questions.

Due to the nature of our mountainous park, non-participants are unable to watch ziplining guests beyond the initial gear-up area. Non-Participants are welcome to enjoy our relaxing river deck (perfect for picnics) or take a short drive down the road to explore the many shops, restaurants, hiking trails and entertainment options nearby. We do not have safe accomodations for animals, so please make other arrangements for those loveable pets.

Advance reservations are highly recommended. Each tour has a limited number of spots available, so we cannot guarantee a spot for your party without a reservation. You can make a reservation online or by calling us at 828-625-4500. If you do not make an advance reservation, we will do everything we can to work you into a tour, but we cannot guarantee availability.

Canopy Ridge Farm has been engineered for safety and meets or exceeds all industry standards set by the ACCT and PRCA for zipline construction. Our cables are rated at over 23,000 lbs break strength. We do not use hand braking, and the cables are out of reach when zipping. We do not have any rappels, and there are no ladders to climb. Our guides are trained and certified prior to leading tours, and all park equipment is inspected according to ACCT Standards throughout each calendar year.

Yes! We encourage you to capture your memories with your phone/camera. If you’re worried about dropping it, we sell universally sized silicone phone holders for $8. If you’d prefer to save some battery and leave your phone behind, we also offer GoPro and REVL rentals so you can video record your memories with one of our hands-free cameras. GoPro rentals are $30 and include a micro SD card that you take home for no additional charge. REVL rentals provide a finished video with music that will be emailed to you, and you can quickly post to social media.
