West Virginia Canopy Tour


Zip lines, cable bridges, and stationary platforms put together using natural surroundings make up the fantastic attraction known as a Canopy Tour. See the flora and fauna of the forest in that are normally are not normally accessible.

TreeTops Canopy Tour takes you though 10 zips, 5 cable bridges, overviews of Mill Creek, and 1 rappel station. Observers can watch from 2 observation stations accessible from a hiking trail that passes near the canopy tour.

The tour takes you high into the forest canopy where you (secured by a harness & cables and led by professional guides), move from tree to tree via a network of platforms & sky bridges, allowing you to quietly observe native wildlife and natural flora in this unique environment. Fast moving zip lines take you soaring through the tree tops for a thrilling ride over rugged terrain in Mill Creek Canyon (a pristine trout stream that races to join the New River at nearby Hawks Nest State Park).

Secluded by lush rhododendron and an old-growth Eastern Hemlock & White Oak forest, the Mill Creek gorge is home to whitetail deer, black bear and numerous other species of animals and natural flora. Mill Creek is also a bird watcher's delight as it's a major flyway for Swainson Warblers, geese and humming birds.

If you would like to swing through the trees visit www.profishwv.com for reservations.
