The Experience

Before You Go

Wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes

Trails and ATV tracks are muddy and rocky; closed-toe shoes with good tread protect toes and improve control on foot.

Bring insect repellent

Riverine and forest edges attract mosquitos; apply repellent before the nature walk and zipline stations.

Protect electronics from splash

The swing often ends with a splash or spray — use a dry bag or leave phones on the shuttle.

Arrive hydrated and with light snacks

Two hours of activity in humid conditions demands steady hydration and a small snack afterward to steady energy.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Small riverside pools below the swing for a quick cool-down
  • A shaded lookout along the ATV loop with broad views of Kingston’s eastern ridgelines

Wildlife

  • Kingstonian bananaquit and other small passerines
  • Freshwater crabs and common river fish in the Wishing River pools

Conservation Note

Stick to marked trails, avoid feeding wildlife, and use biodegradable sunscreen and repellent to limit chemical runoff into river pools.

The foothills east of Kingston were shaped by smallholder agriculture and colonial-era road networks; modern adventure routes reuse these old access lines.
