Our Zipline Canopy Tour and Zoar Gap package combines our two most popular activities into the perfect getaway. Experience the Berkshire hills from the forest canopy in the morning and the river valley in the afternoon.
Start your morning at 8:45am with a three-hour tour through the trees. At each platform you’ll experience the local flora and fauna and be immersed in the forest. The trip includes 11 ziplines, two sky bridges, and 3 rappels. Once your zip trip is complete, it’s lunch time! Our kitchen will provide you a homemade lunch to be enjoyed before you hit the rapids! Zip & Dip guests receive 10% off their zip photos.
This half-day rafting trip start at 12:30 pm and takes you down a section of the Deerfield River through class II and III whitewater. You will have the chance to admire the beautiful landscape of the Berkshire Mountain range with chances to dip your toes in the water and swim. The trip wraps up around 4:30 pm. You’ll have your evening free to explore the local hiking trails or head out to see the surrounding towns. Zip & Dip guests receive 10% off their raft photos.
Please be on time for ziplining & rafting, since we must work within the schedule of water releases decided on by the power company. You will be required to read and sign a release of liability at this time.
All guests will be required to wear a Zoar Outdoor issued PFD (Personal Flotation Device) and helmet. You will also be provided with a paddle. Trips take place on the Fife Brook section of the Deerfield River in Northwestern Massachusetts.
In late fall or winter months, it is better to come with too many articles of clothing than with not enough! We do zipline in the rain, so come prepared with rain gear if needed.
Expect everything you bring on the raft to get wet!

Matt and Abby were spectacular! Our entire group had a wonderful time because they were so professional and personable. This helped make a somewhat anxious activity fun for everybody!
