Zip Over to Columbus!
As summer gets closer, and you are looking for unique ways to engage the outdoors mixing adventure, whitewater and sunshine, make sure you zip up your bags and zip over to Columbus for an adventure you’ll never forget! The dual zip line over the Chattahoochee River is the only zip line in America that connects two states. It is 1,200 feet long and riders experience speeds up to 40 mph as they glide around 125 feet over the river from Georgia to Alabama. Watch the rafters and kayakers battle the river below as you fly overhead. Then, finish the trip with another 400-foot extension into the woods along the Chattahoochee before you head back to your starting point!
The dual zip line is just another way that Columbus seeks to take the beauty and adventure inherent in the city’s surroundings and create ways for people to engage with the environment instead of just observe it. Instead of just taking a walk along the river, get in it! Fly over it on a zip line! Raft it. Kayak it. Experience the strength and power of it. Feel the wind on your body as you strap in and take that first, adrenaline-surging step off of the platform. Feel the drop before the line catches you and send you hurtling across the river through the air. It’s a dual line, so you can share the adventure with a friend or family member. Put the Go-Pro on, record the fun and share it with a friend. Your adventure weekend to Columbus will take on a new perspective as you sail over the Chattahoochee.
Columbus is a city that calls us to “Go All Out!” Before you visit, make sure to check Visit Columbus, GA’s visitor resources.
