ROSWELL, GA — Kick-start your spring with a bit of nature and adventure in Roswell. American Adventure Park Systems, who are also the owners of Georgia’s largest adventure park, Historic Banning Mills, have teamed up with Roswell’s Chattahoochee Nature Center to bring some exciting adventure up to the treetops. CNC’s new zipline and eco-canopy tour are now open, allowing visitors a chance to experience it from a bird’s-eye-view in a safe and fun way.

The canopy tour’s three levels will take guests over the pond and through the woods, where they can climb, zip and trek through the trees to take in the surrounding beauty that awaits to be discovered throughout the center. Level one is an Aerial Adventure Course that will include a total of 28 challenge elements such as ziplines, suspension bridges and more. Children ages 4and up are invited to participate in this tour. Guests who wish to turn it up a notch on the adventure front can experience level two. Level two’s Eco Canopy Tour will take guests flying through the park at high speeds. Zippers will get up to 55-feet in the air and zip up to 500-feet on lines that traverse through the course. The level two course provides 12 challenge elements and welcomes guests ages 8 and up. For the true adrenaline junkies, there is an opportunity to combine levels one and two for the ultimate aerial adventure.For an all-inclusive experience, participants will have the option to brave all 40 of the course’s unique challenge elements on the level three course.

These adventures are the perfect combination of fun, discovery and adventure for families. The course is outfitted with American Adventure Park Systems’ signature Continuous Belay System, which makes it so that guests are unable to disconnect once they are hooked onto the lines. This allows guests to take the plunge with confidence and soar through the air like they just don’t care.
