About Hawksnest Zip Lines

Here at Hawksnest Zip Lines we offer the longest North Carolina Zip Lines and the best zip line canopy tour in the state of North Carolina. Hawksnest Zip Line in Banner Elk, western North Carolina offers 4500' elevations and we are adding up to EIGHT more lines during the summer of 2011. Currently we offer 10 zip lines that create a 1.5 miles of course with some lines zipping you from 30 to 150' off the ground at speeds from 25-30 mph! Our cables range from 300' to 1800' in length and that creates a LOT of squeals from fans! Experience the biggest and best – with the most spectacular views of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Our zip lines are open year round, even in the winter when it snows! We also have a sweet snow tubing operation that offers multiple areas for snow tubing so you can zip right over people who are sliding down the mountain!

Our zip line operation begins near the top of the mountain, at our lodge observation deck
