If you're looking for adventure on the water, you can also sign up for a whitewater rafting trip with Laurel Highlands River Tours and Outdoor Center.
Before you get to soar across the 200-foot zipline, however, you'll have to complete a fun and challenging treetop course.

You can choose from one of two levels: The Adventurer or The Explorer. On the Adventure Level, you'll climb 25 feet, walk a tightrope, face a spider's web, and cross the Rickety Bridge.

You must be at least 10 years old and 70 pounds to embark on the Adventure Level course.
