Short on time? The Half Zipline compresses the second half of Lake Erie Canopy Tours’ course into a brisk circuit that launches from the Wheelhouse Hub Tower and runs out along the Lake Erie shoreline. Riders gain a birds‑eye perspective from tree‑top platforms and a 60‑foot tower and move across a network of steel cables, including side‑by‑side double zips and a sky bridge, for a compact canopy experience.
