Branson Zipline and Canopy Tours at Wolfe Creek Preserve
Branson Zipline and Canopy Tours, located seven miles north of Branson directly off of Highway 65, is a world class eco-tour with a beautiful view. Opened in May of 2010, this four million dollar establishment has safely guided thousands of zipliners through the canopy of the Wolfe Creek Preserve. The entire zipline was designed and built with the best interests of the preserve in mind – helicopters were used to erect the zipline platforms instead of using bulldozers and heavy equipment that might have damaged the ecological elements. Riders often get the opportunity to see wildlife such as deer and bobcats on the trails below as they soar above the trees. Branson Zipline offers four different canopy tours, each with a different number of zip lines and suspension bridges, and ranging from 30 minutes to four hours: The Ozarks Xplorer Canopy Tour (a best seller), the Flying Prospector Canopy Tour (a good choice for family groups), the Blue Streak Fast Line and Free Fall Express (which includes a breathtaking, heart stopping 100 foot free fall) and the Canopy Adventure Combo (which includes the free fall and an entire canopy tour). The Xplorer and the Prospector tour are both available after dark for some serious nighttime thrills.

One of the highest ziplines in Missouri, the Vigilante Extreme ZipRider launches riders from the very top of the Inspiration Tower at Shepard of the Hills and sends them down a half mile long ride at 50 miles per hour for the best view of the Ozarks you will ever see!

On a clear day, zip liners can see clean across the state line into Arkansas. No training or orientation is needed for the Vigilante, due to the chair harness and the patented terminal brake at the end of the ride; folks of all ages can enjoy this zipline!
