NEW ORLEANS, LA – The newest tourist attraction in New Orleans is also the most exciting and exhilarating that has recently debuted in the Crescent City. Located roughly 15 miles from the airport, and about 25 miles from downtown New Orleans, this is not only a zipline experience, but a swamp tour as well.
Zip NOLA’s state of the art facility is nestled on the banks of Lake Pontchartrain, in the quaint historic town of Frenier. The zipline course is roughly one half mile long, taking guests approximately an hour and a half to complete. Riders begin the adventure from atop the 60 foot start platform, with complete views of the magnificent Maurepas Swamp, Lake Pontchartrain, the historic town of Frenier, and even the New Orleans skyline!
As riders traverse the course, they will enjoy 5 separate zip lines, two suspension bridges, and the beautiful one of a kind spiral cypress tree staircase. Prepare yourself to become immersed in nature. Aside from the incredible scenery, riders can expect the possibility of viewing alligators, turtles, snakes, whitetail deer, wild boar, raccoons, opossums, armadillos, egrets, herons, and much more from the comfort and safety of the treetops!
