Fly the Canopy: Mountain Top Zipline Tour at Morningside Flight Park, New Hampshire
Launch from a ridge and fly through hardwoods on five easy zip lines and two suspension bridges. This beginner-friendly, two-hour canopy tour blends light adrenaline with clear, ridge-top views and local guide storytelling.
The Experience
Before You Go
Shoes and grip
Wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes with good tread — platforms can be uneven and boots help with stable landings.
Hydrate before arrival
Bring water and hydrate; the active parts are short but the wait and excitement can dry you out.
Mind the weight/height limits
Operators enforce a 100–225 lb weight range and 4'6" minimum height — check these before booking to avoid day-of issues.
Expect weather closures
High wind or lightning will cancel runs; leave time in your itinerary for rescheduling.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •Pause at the second suspension bridge for a quiet mid-tour listen — mornings often bring clear bird calls and fewer human noises.
- •Ask guides about the old paragliding takeoff nearby; you can often see evidence of earlier flight use on the ridgeline.
Wildlife
- •White-tailed deer
- •Red-tailed hawk
Conservation Note
Operators typically limit group size and use anchored platforms to reduce vegetation impact; follow Leave No Trace principles and avoid off-trail exploration near launch sites.
The ridgeline has long been a local flying spot for paragliders and hang-gliders; zipline operations are a later adaptation that use natural clearings and elevation without major earthworks.
