Western NC Zipline
 
Anyone know of a zipline in Western NC or North Georgia that has a weight minimum lower than 70 pounds? My 10 year old is really skinny and won't make it to 70 pounds for quite some time. He's been ziplining in Costa Rica and really wants to go again. He's a little more than 60 pounds. . I'm having trouble finding a place that can accommodate him. Any ideas???
Thanks!!

You can probably do it in Charlotte at the Whitewater Center. The Center is a lot of fun for more than ziplining.

Hawksnest Zip Line is located just off of Highway 105 South between Boone and Banner Elk, and high atop Seven Devils. They offer tours for families and the Hawk Tour sounds like it would be great for your child. This is an eleven cable tour with 1.5 miles of cable riding. The minimum age requirement for this tour is 5 years old.
Visit their website at www.hawksnestzipline.com

Enjoy!

Climbworks Canopy in Gatlinburg allows children under weight to ride with a guide or a brother or sister. I suspect they only make them do this on some of the lines. This isn't NC, but is pretty close. I've been with them twice.
