Zip-lining

Zip-lining is about 30 min by car from Avenwood Cabins in New Straitsville, Ohio.

For an adrenaline rush unlike any hike, try zip-lining through the Hocking Hills canopy. Local zip-line courses feature multiple lines strung between platforms high in the trees, giving you a bird's-eye view of the forest that few people ever experience.

The courses typically include 5-10 zip lines of varying lengths and heights, connected by sky bridges and short hiking segments. The longest lines send you soaring over ravines and through gaps in the canopy at speeds that take your breath away. Trained guides accompany every group, so even first-timers can feel confident.

Zip-lining is a fantastic activity for groups and families with older children. The shared experience of overcoming the initial nervousness and then flying through the treetops creates memories and stories that last for years. Many of our guests at the Hummingbird lodge book a group zip-line adventure as the centerpiece of their trip.
