Zip Through the Pines: Small-Group Zipline Tour in Hot Springs
Clip in and fly ten lines through old-growth forest above ponds and ridgelines on this 1.5-hour Small-Group Zipline Tour in Hot Springs. Family-friendly but guided and safety-focused, it’s an efficient way to experience the Ouachita canopy with minimal hiking and maximum payoff.
The Experience
Before You Go
Wear closed-toe shoes
Sturdy sneakers or trail shoes make the short hikes between platforms comfortable and protect your feet during landings.

Use a camera wrist strap or leave phones in pockets — anything loose is a hazard while zipping.
Arrive early to check in
Plan to be at Adventureworks 15–20 minutes before your start time to complete waivers and get fitted.
Watch the weather
Tours may be canceled in stormy conditions — check the 24-hour cancellation window and plan accordingly.

The Ouachita foothills around Hot Springs carry layers of human history from Indigenous use of mineral waters to the 19th-century spa town that grew around Bathhouse Row.
