Lake Erie Canopy Tours

Imagine soaring through the air above the treetops and experiencing nature from a different perspective. After safely strapping in, zip lining lets you zoom from platform to platform, high in the sky. Attached to your harness are two locking carabiners, a metal loop that secures you to a wheel on a cable that’s strung from one tree tower to another. Together, this high-flying gear allows you to glide effortlessly through the forest and take in the beauty of the Lake Erie shore at Geneva State Park.

All adventure activities done above the ground carry certain inherent risks. Lake Erie Canopy Tours has taken numerous steps to mitigate these risks. Our course was built to meet or exceed ACCT professional building standards. Our guides are professionally trained and provide you with basic training, a thorough safety briefing and a quick demonstration to introduce you to the world of zip lining. In flight training, you’ll learn the basics of sitting in your harness and braking techniques while our guides handle attaching your click-it carabiners and trolleys to the zip lines. Our trained staff inspect all equipment, landing platforms and zip lines daily to assure your safety and confidence.

Wear comfortable clothes; our recommendations follow:

• No skirts or dresses.
• Close-toed shoes that secure to your foot (such as tennis shoes) or hiking boots are great year-round.
• Long hair should be pulled back in a ponytail and make sure you secure your glasses with a strap.
• Keep your pockets free of any sharp object, like keys or pens.
• Dress for the weather forecasted. We do operate in the rain, so please be prepared.
• Please do not wear any dangling jewelry.
• It is recommended you remove all items from your pockets, such as cell phones and wallets. You do not want them falling out during the tour. Lake Erie Canopy Tours is not responsible for property lost, damaged or stolen during your tour.
• Lake Erie Canopy Tours provides the harness, helmet and training for use of equipment.
• You are permitted to bring your own gloves to wear if desired.

Please follow these clothing suggestions:

• Spring/Fall: Wear layers. Synthetic fleece or wool jackets are suggested. When cotton clothing gets wet it may not shed moisture and may make your colder. Raincoats and rain pants work best. Wear comfortable clothing, but please avoid loose clothing (no scarves, etc.).
• Summer: Wear layers, as early morning and late afternoon flights may be a little chilly. Tank tops and shorts are acceptable. Short shorts are not recommended, as they are not comfortable while wearing a harness. Skirts and dresses are not permitted.
