Chances are you’re familiar with Hungry Mother State Park in Virginia, a beautiful haven of a park featuring meandering hiking trails, beautiful mountain views, and even a bit of a haunting history. Yet fewer people are aware that located nearby is an adventure park that’s home to the longest zip line in the state. Visitors who sign up for this adrenaline-pumping activity will soar through the treetops and over the valley during nearly a mile of lines.
Welcome to Hungry Mother Adventures, an interactive park where visitors can experience the landscape from a totally unique perspective.
Measuring an impressive 4,500 feet of cable, the zip line course here holds the title for the longest in all of Virginia. Yet that’s not all! It also happens to be the highest and the fastest.
Over the course of the five-line adventure course, visitors will reach heights of 200 feet as they soar down the mountain. Depending on the size of your group, the outing will take approximately two hours.
If you’re a bit intimidated by the height and length of this particular course, not to worry. Hungry Mother Adventures also offers a mini zip, which lasts approximately one hour and operates at a lower altitude.
The mini zip is also a great alternative for children who might not meet the weight requirement for the main zip line. For the mini zip, there is no weight requirement, although children must be at least six years old to participate.
So whether you participate in the longest zip line in Virginia or opt for the mini zip, you’re sure to be impressed by the gorgeous views surrounding this facility.
