When it comes to outdoor adventures, there is nothing better than heading to the Pocono Mountains. The views are stunning and there is always something different to see while you are here. In any season, our area can give you a very different view but one that is thrilling, and we at Ledges Hotel highly recommend, is taking a tour where you zip line in the Poconos. It is a way to see the most of our area in the shortest amount of time. There are many ways to go zip line in the Poconos and a couple of companies that we recommend that strive to give their guests the best experience. Let’s have a look at what you can expect when you book a tour and zip line in the Poconos.
First up is The Adventure Center at Skytop Lodge. Located just 36 minutes away this is the closest of your options to go zip line in the Poconos. Their zip lining tour takes about 3 hours and will take you about 3,000 feet in total. Don’t think that you will have an easy time with this one, it is truly adventurous. You will have to go over elevated bridgeways and logs to walk across, a cargo net and then 7 different zip lines. Trust us, you will be quite tired but proud at the end of this trip. Reservations are required and the cost for this tour is $45 during the week and $50 during the weekend. Tours start at 9 am and then on the half hour after that.
