Zip line canopy tours in New Hampshire will bring out the Tarzan in you

Hang gliding and paragliding aren’t the only way to soar at Morningside Flight Park in the rolling Connecticut River Valley hills of New Hampshire. You can also fly through a leafy canopy on a zip line tour. Tours begin from the top of Morningside Mountain and go from platform to platform on four zip lines, with two lines about the length of a football field, and a fifth that takes you back down to earth. Two suspension bridges include one in the treetops over 50 feet above the ground. With two cables for redundancy, the course is designed so almost everyone can conquer it. It’s a great activity for families and groups. Ask about zip line packages that also include tandem hang gliding.

Get a bird’s-eye view of the woods when you get harnessed into the zipline, part of the Timbertrek Aerial Adventure Park at Chuckster’s in Chichester. The 240-foot zipline, which you can do separately if you wish, is also part of a series of fantastic elements (from horse saddles to “snowboards” and “skateboards”) that allow you to move from platform to platform in the trees, 10 to 35 feet off the ground. Cross log bridges and other spans that sway as you conquer this course with its emphasis on fun (There’s an optional route for those seeking a bigger challenge). Among the other attractions at Chuckster’s include the new Klime Wallz, competitive games like ChucksterBall and Frantic Hoops, the go-kart track and bumper boats, and the famous mini-golf course featuring the country's longest mini-golf hole!
