About
Come soar through the lush green forests of the Blue Ridge Foothills and gain a new perspective for a truly unique and exciting experience in nature. The park is nestled into 120 acres in the beautiful Hickory Nut Gorge, just a stones throw from the eastern shoreline of Lake Lure. Located in North Carolina’s Isothermal Belt region, the pleasant weather conditions combined with the plethora of natural vegetation and sky-scraping tree lines almost mimic the feeling of sailing though a tropical rain forest. The adventure tour lasts about 1 1/2 hours and the lines are each designed with exhilarating features including Zip Zilla at 1000 feet long and designed to thrill.

We had an absolutely amazing time at Canopy Ridge Farm! Our family of four, including two kids aged 11 and 13, found the zip line experience to be the perfect blend of excitement and fun for all of us. The three guides were outstanding—they were not only knowledgeable but also incredibly entertaining, making the entire adventure enjoyable from start to finish. They explained everything we needed to know with clear instructions, demonstrating each step with a focus on safety while keeping the mood light with their great sense of humor.

The zip lines themselves were thrilling but not too intense, making them ideal for both the kids and us parents. The total experience, including check-in, preparation, instructions, and completing all six zip lines, took about two hours, which was just perfect. We left feeling exhilarated and satisfied with the experience. We highly recommend Canopy Ridge Farm to anyone looking for a fun and family-friendly adventure!

We had the best guides, Nate and Conner! They were professional, courteous, and most of all fun (they told lots and lots of "dad jokes"). The whole experience felt safe because they explained everything in a way that made it clear of what to expect during each zipline. The weather was perfect too! They even gave us an ice pop to help distract us as we trecked up a small hill and to help cool us off. The staff inside was also very friendly. She explained everything to us and answered any questions we had. We would highly recommend Canopy Ridge Farm Adventure Park to anyone visiting the Lake Lure area looking for an afternoon of fun for the whole family.

Definitely the best deal around. Great guides, like super fun and energetic, awesome personalities! The price was the best and the ziplining was much better than several local competitors. 6 good, long, fast Ziplines. Very pleased. Fun SUV ride to the top which was a bonus 😊 5 ⭐ even though they allow larger groups of 12 it went quick. Not a lot of waiting or standing around. We had two 7 year olds and they got to ride solo 1/2 the time and 1/2 they rode tandom which was really fun and fast! Great for all ages, we had children's, teens, young and older adults. Definitely recommend. About 1.75 hours long.

Great experience! Our zipeline guides Wes and Conner were outstanding. Very witty, need to be in drama or comedy, and knowledgeable. They were constantly joking and engaging the audience which made the experience way more fun and comfortable. Felt safe and loved how the course was laid out where it gradually got higher and longer the more you did it. Very limited walking. Highly recommend and just the right amount of time ( not too long or short).

We had a great time! It was our first time zip-lining and Drew and Andrew were full of humor that eased our fears. The zip lines get longer and faster as you move through the course, which helped a lot. My only caution to others during this time of Covid is that the establishment does not require masks for staff or customers, even inside the office. They have a sign up stating that they will assume anyone not wearing masks is exempt. It was a little concerning as we are both higher risk, but we had already paid so we just got in and out as quickly as possible and stayed in the back of the group during the course.Our guides did wear masks when gearing us up and in the vehicles that took us to the course, which I appreciated.

What an experience! We were in Asheville but drove the distance because of the tandem option. We took our 4 and 6 year olds and they would have been too scared if it were not for the tandem ziplining. It was amazing! Our guides, Arthur and Cory, were soooo wonderful with the kids- said the perfect things to make them comfortable and had cheesy but fun jokes all along for the group. It was light to moderate rain but it made it even more fun! The trees blocked out most of the rain anyway. I can’t recommend this experience enough! My kids have been nonstop talking about it since and it’s a memory we won’t forget

We took our 10 & 12 year old and everyone loved it! Equipment was in perfect condition and I felt completely safe. The guides were skilled and personable and really made it fun. We were asked to arrive 30 min prior and the gearing up was efficient. They did weigh each of us but didn't announce our weight (thank you). If your kids meet the weight limit they can zip tandem but they will let you know. Use the restroom before you gear up because the next one is at least 2 hours from your tour. There are small lockers there you can use or you can keep your things in your car and they can keep your keys while you zip.

We took a ride up to the first zip line in an ATV driven by the guides which was quick, but also fun. There were minimal steps in comparison to other zips I have done, which was nice. Closed toe shoes required (they will get dirty from the landings in the mulch areas). They highly discouraged us from taking a phone, which I understand, but I wish I had taken one in a secure pouch/strap case for a few pics like another guest. There are go pro cameras you can rent if desired. It was a great time! There are a few snacks for purchase and there was a food truck just across the street that day if you are looking for a quick bite just before or after your tour.

When we finished we had to sign our credit card slip and there is an opportunity to tip your tour guides if you would like to do it by credit card. Book ahead if you can as there were only a few slots left for the week we visited. There are ATV tours too but they were booked for the week. Side note, if you want to book water sports with other company I would highly recommend you book those ahead as well (they were also booked but we lucked out with a cancellation).

We absolutely loved every minute of this adventure. Our guides, Stephan and Kevin, were superb - very entertaining, knowledgeable and extremely safety conscience - couldn’t ask for a better pair to lead your group! Our group (of first-timers) consisted of youngsters, teens, parents and a senior couple (us). All were made welcome, received individual attention/encouragement, and left with smiles on their faces. No reason to feel anxious . . . just enjoy the views and sense of flight/freedom . . . you won’t regret booking this activity. Thank you Canopy Farms!!

An excellent experience! I am 69 and was a little apprehensive but my 68 year old wife egged me on and I am so glad she did. We had a wonderful afternoon. Andrew and Stefan were our guides and the kept us entertained and safe. When not flying through the trees we were entertained by their jokes and stories. Sorry guys but the rides were slightly better than the jokes. All 6 lines were great yet each a little different. The first was the easiest and a great one to break the ice. The last being the Grand Daddy of them all. I have a bad back but did not have any trouble at all. The rides are smooth with a gentle landing. We cannot wait to do it again. Don’t pass on this opportunity, you will not be disappointed. Thanks Andrew and Stefan, love you guys!

Awesome Crew! Kevin and Andrew were amazing. We had a group of 13, 5 of whom were young kids ages 2-9. Kevin and Andrew were both so patient with these excited little ones. They had the best time! This was my first time zip lining. I never went before because I'm afraid of heights. Well, I had a fabulous time - never got vertigo, which I do get in high places. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone!
