Seeking new thrills around Florida? Feeling a little adventurous? Are you just here for the zip line ? There might be something for you.
With the news of the longest zip line in the country opening next year in Tennessee, some might be wondering: What is the longest zip line in Florida?
This Ocala park touts its zip lines as both the longest and the fastest in the state. Here’s what to know:
How long is Florida’s longest zip line?
The longest zip line in Florida is found at Ocala’s own Canyons Zip Line and Adventure Park, with zip lines roughly 1,150 feet in length and 155 feet off the ground. Canyons also offers a 1,100-foot zip all the way across Lost Spring Lake.
“Since Florida is mostly flat, other zip lines may require quite a lot of stair climbing to begin their course, and throughout their course, in order for participants to gain elevation. Comparatively, we have very little stair climbing and we zip from tree to tree and tree to cliff, etc.,” officials write on the website.
