If you’re searching for the perfect blend of adrenaline, scenic beauty, and family-friendly fun, look no further than ziplining at Skytop Lodge. Nestled in the heart of the Poconos, our Treetop Adventure Course offers a thrilling way to see the landscape from a whole new angle—up to 50 feet above the forest floor. Whether you’re a first-time flyer or a weekend warrior looking to elevate your getaway, this outdoor experience delivers the kind of rush you’ll be talking about long after your feet touch the ground.
Ziplining is an exhilarating outdoor activity where you’re securely harnessed to a pulley that glides along a suspended cable, often from treetop to treetop. It’s a sensation like no other: a moment of weightlessness followed by speed and soaring views, with wind in your face and treetops beneath your feet.
At Skytop Lodge, ziplining is part of our Treetop Adventure Course, which features two exciting options:
Each course includes rope ladders, elevated platforms, and scenic views of the Poconos canopy. It’s not just about the thrill—it’s also about experiencing nature in a new, unforgettable way.
Whether you’re planning your first ziplining experience or adding to your bucket list of adventure sports, this is your go-to destination in the Poconos.
Looking for things to do during your weekend escape to the Poconos? Ziplining is a perfect choice for couples, families, and groups of friends alike. It’s active, scenic, and something you just don’t do every day. Start your morning with a gourmet breakfast at Skytop, then head to The Adventure Center—Skytop Lodge’s outdoor activity hub, designed for all ages and adventure levels. Navigate rope bridges, climb ladders, and launch yourself into the treetops on either the full or half ziplining course.
Want to dial up the fun? Pair your ziplining experience with hiking, kayaking, or a picnic by the lake—all available onsite. When the sun sets, return to the comfort of Skytop’s classic lodge rooms or cozy cottages and relive your airborne adventure over a fireside drink.
Ziplining at Skytop Lodge is a seasonal activity, generally available spring through fall, weather permitting. Because it takes place outdoors and requires dry conditions, availability may vary slightly depending on the weather forecast. For something truly unforgettable, night ziplining is also available on select evenings, weather permitting. Soar through the treetops under the stars for a whole new perspective on the Poconos.
