Soar Above the Harpeth: Adventureworks Ziplines at Nashville West
Clip in at Adventureworks Nashville West and launch across ridge-top zip lines that slice above the Harpeth River’s wooded ridges. This 90‑minute, nine‑line course mixes long 1,000‑foot runs with shorter connectors — ideal for families and first‑timers seeking a high-flying taste of middle Tennessee.
The Experience
Before You Go
Arrive Early
Plan to arrive at least 15 minutes before your scheduled time to check in and fit harnesses; late arrivals are not refunded.
Wear Secure Shoes
Closed-toe, sturdy footwear is required — no flip-flops, heels or loose sandals — because platforms and short hikes have uneven footing.
Hydrate and Layer
Bring a small water bottle and a light layer; ridge-top zips can be cooler and windier than ground level.
Listen to Guides
Follow staff instructions for braking and line transitions — they control the safety clipping and will pause for photos when appropriate.

Conservation Note
Adventureworks minimizes ground disturbance by using existing trees for platforms and enforces stay‑on‑trail rules to protect sensitive riparian zones.
The Harpeth River corridor supported mills and small settlements in the 19th century; the area’s limestone geology shaped both agriculture and local transportation routes.
Photographer's Notes
- • Top platforms on the longest zip for panoramic ridge-and-river shots
- • Lower platforms facing downstream to capture river bends and tree-lined banks
