Take an adrenaline pumping walk on the wild side in Wisconsin. Here are three thrilling adventure ideas where you can zip line through a forest, paddle through sea caves, kayak whitewater rapids and much more.
Â
Wisconsin Dells
The Wisconsin Dells area is full of adventures, including plenty of rock climbing and zip lining opportunities.
- Take a Wilderness Canyon Zip Line Canopy Tour. Wilderness Canyon is located on the Wilderness Resort grounds and provides five zip lines strewn from six towers hovering 60 feet in the air.
- Or, challenge yourself with a zip line and rock climbing dual experience with Vertical Illusions. At Vertical Illusions, adventurous people will head to the top of Chimney Rock Park, a 500-foot bluff with 100-mile views, stunning plants and curious wildlife.
- There, you’ll ride from 18 tree-to-tree zip lines without touching the ground or climbing any stairs. With climbs from 20 to 100+ feet, we have the guidance needed for beginners, or the ability of pushing even experienced climbers. Trips include 1 hour, 3 hour, and full day trips.Â
