There are a million different ways to explore Wisconsin’s Northwoods, but one of the most unforgettable is getting to walk among the treetops. Northwoods Zip Line in Minocqua offers more than just whirring trips through the trees – their aerial trekking tour features 14 different tree-top elements that allow you to go up into the forest canopy and get views like humans never get to see. This family-owned spot has a spotless safety record, an amazing staff and is super family-friendly.
Located on the outskirts of Minocqua in the stunning Wisconsin Northwoods, this awesome zip line company offers so much more than just a few simple runs down zip lines. Don't let the name fool you - you could spend the day walking among the treetops here.
The aerial trekking tour is for anyone age 7 or up, and there are more than a dozen different aerial pieces of equipment, in addition to five different zip lines.
Instead of sailing through the air and missing so much of the beauty of the woods, this tour gets you out into the trees and makes you feel like you're walking on air.
It's a stunning, bird's-eye view of the trees and forest that you just won't get anywhere else.
Your family will love challenging themselves, and the crew here not only have a 100% safety record, but are some of the most encouraging, helpful folks you'll ever meet.
You'll overcome some fears, challenge yourself and in the end, feel super accomplished when you're done with this aerial trekking course. Northwoods Zip Line provides pre-trip training and information, all the appropriate safety equipment, a chance to practice and a fully knowledgeable set of guides to head out with each and every group.
You'll never forget the jaw-dropping views or the feeling that you're walking among the treetops here. There's something so magical about being suspended so high and feeling like you're a part of the scenery, not just passively looking at it.
These folks do tours year round and the bonus of the winter treks is the wide open views when there are no leaves to block the vistas.
The tour itself will take about 2.5 hours, but when you're finished, your day doesn't have to be over. Plan ahead and bring your bikes to take advantage of the 2.5 mile Free Mountain Bike Trail. The trail is open ALL YEAR ROUND for biking, hiking and snow trekking. It is maintained throughout the year by Lakeland Area Mountain Biking Organization. They also offer free Stand Up Paddleboarding on the 20 acre lake for anyone who has taken part in one of their tours. This pristine lake is perfect for a relaxing day of paddle boarding. No boats. No waves. No houses. No noise. Just you and the smooth, open water. Paddle boards are available at Northwoods Zip Line on a first come first serve basis. Life jackets are also available, but paddleboarders do have to sign a separate release.
With all the extra, fun options, you and your family can spend the whole day at Northwoods Zip Line, making the cost of an aerial tracking tour feel a lot more reasonable. It's $105 per person, but now you know what will cover two or three different activities and an entire day's worth of entertainment.
Northwoods Zip Line is located at 849 US-51, Minocqua, WI 54548.
