What to Bring
Navitat
Your zip line activity will take place rain or shine. A light rain jacket would be appropriate. Participation on the zip line course requires you to wear a harness. Shorts should be long enough to comfortably wear a harness. The activity takes place in the woods - bug spray is nice to have!
Rafting
- shorts (synthetic material is best - no jeans or sweats)
- t-shirt to wear over bathing suit for the river
- shoes that fasten securely (required)
- extra clothes and shoes for the ride home
- Sunscreen and a strap for glasses/sunglasses are very important.
If you want to bring a camera, a disposable one is recommended. Valuable cameras may get damaged or lost in the water. The rafting company will take a picture that can be purchased after the trip. The starting price is $15.00. The water temperature is 50 degrees. Rubber suits are provided by the company.
