Eagle Flyer

Get ready for an Adirondack adrenaline rush like no other, with the launch of the Lake George Region’s newest and most exhilarating attraction — The Eagle Flyer zip line, opening soon on French Mountain. Starting at the summit, you’ll soar above the treetops as high as 125 feet off the ground while speeding down a nearly 1,000-foot vertical drop at 50 miles an hour, before landing gently on a plat

form. Flyers can take the three-quarters-of–a-mile journey seated, or if you dare, go head-first, eagle-like, for the best view. This adventure will provide the thrill of a lifetime, with unsurpassed views of Lake George and the Adirondacks — the views that only the birds enjoy. There are four zip lines, so you and your friends can race each other. And the fun begins before you even get on the launch platform, as you make the ride up the mountain to the launch point by off-road vehicles from the former Wild West Ranch. Weight 275lbs. Call to reserve a flight time. Open daily weather permitting

The Eagle Flyer is designed and built by Zip-Flyer, a national firm that has engineered some of the longest and fastest zip lines in the world, in places like Nepal, Vail and Breckenridge, Colo., and Lake Tahoe and Las Vegas.
