Every canopy tour begins with a walk through our native wildflower meadow. This time of year, it's alive with butterflies, bees, and the sounds of summer. 🦋🐝🌼

This little fawn was quietly waiting exactly where mom left it. Mother deer often leave their young hidden while they forage nearby. 🌿

Nature is amazing. ❤️

We had a great time hosting the Honey Heist crew at Shawnee Bluffs! 🍯🌲 Many thanks for the kind words and for sharing your adventure.

If you’re planning a trip to the Shawnee National Forest, we highly recommend pairing a zipline tour with a stop at Honey Heist Mead Co. They craft some of the most creative and delicious meads we’ve ever tried, and their rotating flavors are always fun to explore - located just 5.7 miles (~11 minutes) down the road from Shawnee Bluffs.

Grab your crew and come fly through the forest ... then head over for a tasting flight at Honey Heist.🌲✈️ 🐝

Shawnee Bluffs is proud to be a 100% tree-based “true” canopy tour — built entirely within the forest canopy with no man-made towers or concrete structures.🌲

Every element of the course was intentionally designed to maximize the guest experience while minimizing environmental impact — from patented adjustable tree platforms that expand as the trees grow to a layout that blends naturally into the landscape of the forest.

According to our certified tree arborist, Shawnee Bluffs represents the gold standard for canopy builds and is one of the most eco-friendly zipline courses in the world.✨
