AAZCT What to Expect
When deciding which canopy tour is best for you and your group, consider the following information.
Nantahala Gorge Canopy Tours
The Nantahala Gorge Canopy Tour consists of 11 zips with multiple bridges. The first 4 zips start on decks at ground level, traversing a valley below. After getting used to being in the air, the course moves into the trees. This trip is completely wilderness until you get to the final 2 zips. The longest zip is the final zip at 650 ft. This canopy tour is located in Western NC near Bryson City.
Chattooga Ridge Canopy Tours
The Chattooga Ridge Canopy Tour begins with a 28 ft. hoist up to the top of the first platform. Once up in the air, you will remain above the ground for the entire tour. This trip is on the Wildwater Chattooga Rafting Center property, so it is less wilderness, but with a good bit of historical significance. The final 4 zips go across our 2 acre Academy Lake. This canopy tour is located in Upstate SC near Clemson, SC and Clayon, GA.

The current tour is called the Pigeon River Express Tour. From our 54 foot tall Jinga Tower, 2 intro zips get you acquainted with flight before launching from the top of the tower and 91 feet above the Big Pigeon River. Fly beside the Pigeon River an additional 600 feet before zipping across the Pigeon River. The Stairway to Heaven provides vast Smoky Mountain views leading to an exhilarating zip 1200 ft. back over the river.
