Set above lakefront and forest at Geneva State Park, the Full Zipline & Adventure Course Combo stitches together a full eight‑zip canopy tour with a self‑guided timber‑and‑ropes climbing course. Operated by Lake Erie Canopy Tours, the program sends participants along steel cables, sky bridges and tree‑top towers up to 60 feet high and through more than 30 climbing elements that range from easy to extreme.

Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE ROUTE

Full Zipline Canopy Tour — fast runs and lake views

Eight ziplines, two sky bridges and four water crossings deliver gravity‑driven runs that top out near 30 mph and offer sweeping views over lakefront and forest; several lines are side‑by‑side so you can race companions.

THE CHALLENGES

Adventure Climbing Course — 30+ timber & ropes activities

The climbing area comprises more than 30 activities across multiple routes with graded difficulty from straightforward obstacles to extreme challenges; routes are self‑guided with staff nearby to monitor and assist, and the continuous belay system keeps participants clipped in throughout.

THE FEATURES

Named courses and an optional freefall rappel

The program includes specific climbing elements such as the Wheelhouse Tower, Shiver Me Timbers!, Rum Runners Route and Peg Leg’s Plight, and offers a daring optional freefall rappel for those who want it.

What the day feels like

What the day feels like

The combo unfolds as a two‑part outdoor circuit: a pulse‑raising zipline tour across tree‑top towers and water crossings, then hands‑on time on the timber‑and‑ropes courses where balance, reach and composure are tested. The entire program runs roughly three hours, and the design lets you move from adrenaline spikes on the zips to measured, self‑paced challenges on the climbing routes.
