Unicoi Zipline and Aerial Adventure Park

Why you should go…

This zipline park runs canopy tours at Unicoi State Park & Lodge, about two miles northeast of Alpine Helen in the North Georgia mountains. Tours come in three levels, with ziplines up to 2,600 feet long and six sky bridges reaching 50 feet and more off the ground. You check in at the gift shop on the lodge's third floor, and moonlight tours send you down 11 ziplines after dark.

Good to know

General sport & outdoor guidance

Habits that pay off across this whole category, not rules for this one venue. Always check the official site for the specifics.

  • Weather calls the shots

    Check the forecast the morning of and keep an indoor backup in your pocket for the day it turns.

  • Shoes, water, sun cover

    The three things that decide whether you last the whole outing or cut it short after an hour.

  • Parking and launches fill early

    On a nice weekend, lots and trailheads are often full by mid-morning.

  • Daylight shrinks in shoulder season

    Spring and fall visits need an earlier start than the same trip in July.
