Shawnee Bluffs Canopy Tour
635 Robinson Hill Rd, Makanda, IL 62958
Hiking & Trails
Eco-friendly zip line canopy tour, located on 83 wooded acres. The tour includes 8 ziplines — the longest over 1,110 ft. — 11 elevated tree platforms, 3 aerial suspension bridges, and 3 short scenic hikes.
Safety is always the top priority here, so there’s no need to be afraid. This is the perfect place to check ziplining off your bucket list! Guests begin with 'flight school' before ever heading out into the canopy.
Allow approximately 3 hours for an exciting, fully guided canopy tour. Along with way, guides educate guests about the local flora, fauna, geology and history while safely traversing an established route of ziplines and aerial suspension bridges between platforms built high in the trees. Guests must leave phones and cameras behind during the tour, but guides capture complimentary photos throughout the experience for you to enjoy afterward. Enjoy the breeze zipping through the trees!
