Staff | May 18, 2011 | Comment
Big Bear Ziplines is a one-of-a-kind adventure for the Hudson Valley, New York and the metropolitan area; they are also the CLOSEST Canopy Zipline Tour and adventure center to New York City. They offer professionally guided Canopy Zipline Tours which run on variable schedules depending on the season. Tours are 3-3.5 hours in length and include eight ziplines ranging from 200-1,400 feet in length at heights up to 80 feet, two fire truck ladders, two tarzan vines and breath-taking views of the Hudson Valley.
Founded in 2008, Big Bear Ziplines opened its doors to the public in 2011 after making sure that their course was the best it could be and that everything met or exceeded industry safety standards.
The Beisiegel’s chose to open their own Canopy Zipline Tour in 2008 when on a family vacation they enjoyed an exhilarating Zipline Tour at Princeville Ranch in Kauai, Hawaii. After scoping out a few places to build a course, construction began in the summer of 2009 with the help of a few people. Together, they walked the 50 acres of land which had been chosen over and over to find the PERFECT lay-out for the course…how many lines will fit? What paths will participants follow? Which trees will be used?
The course was then mapped out; an Arborist checked the trees; Course Inspectors reviewed the lay-out; Land Surveyors assessed the property; the DEC came in and marked off wetlands and then finally in 2010 they hired their first Team Members. A few months later, the course met and exceeded ACCT and PRCA standards and was finally ready for business!
With unique braking systems designed by our team, custom-built platforms and fire truck ladders donated to the course, Big Bear Ziplines looks like no other course out there! Everything you will see was built specific to the lay-out of their course. The Big Bear Ziplines Team has created reality out of a dream.
They meet and/or exceeed industry safety standards set forth by the ACCT and the Professional Ropes Course Association (PRCA).
