Catamonster is the longest zip line in the USA
Everything You Need to Know About the Catamount Zipline
What is a Zipline?
A zipline is a long cable (in our case, the longest in the USA!) that stretches from a higher point to a lower point. Riders are securely attached to the strong cable with a sturdy harness. Because the cable lies at an incline, the rider is whisked down it by gravity, giving them access to incredible, once-in-a-lifetime views of the surrounding nature.
How Long is the Catamount Zipline?
Like we’ve said, it’s a record-breaking length! Our claim to fame is the 5,500-foot zipline which is longer than any other similar experience in the continental USA. For the younger adventurers or the more cautious among us, Catamount also offers a 900 foot starter zipline experience before stepping up to our Massive “Catamonster” Zip.
What Will I See on the new Catamount Zipline?
The brand new zipline at Catamount Ski Resort features an impressive 1000-foot descent. That means you’ll get an unparalleled birds-eye-view of all the gorgeous natural sights that Catamount has to offer. The mountains, trees, and valleys offer breathtaking sights, and the foliage is exceptionally beautiful in the fall. You’ll get the chance to see wildlife, nature, and incredible horizons—all without harming the stunning ecosystem of Fields and Forests whizzing by below you.
What Makes the Catamount Zip Tour So Special?
If the fact that this is the longest zipline in the lower 48 states doesn’t excite you, we have a few other thrilling details up our sleeves. For the adventure seekers and speed demons, this zipline is the perfect experience—you'll reach speeds over 50 mph while you’re whizzing past the gorgeous views of Catamount!
Don’t want to do it alone? No problem! Each of our ziplines is actually a pair of ziplines, side by side. That means that you can now ride with a friend, family member, or significant other to experience this stunning adventure together!
Where is Catamount?
Catamount Ski Resort is located in upstate Hillsdale New York as part of the Berkshire mountain range. It’s a quick trip from many parts of New York, Massachusetts and Connecticut, including Albany, Bridgeport, Danbury, Hartford, White Plains, and New York City.
Who Should Ride the Zipline?
The zipline is perfect for both seasoned adventurers and the more cautious among us. Thrill-seekers will love the speed, height, and length of the 5,500-foot zipline. Those who are wary of this record-breaking zipline will prefer the 900-foot option. It offers similarly breathtaking views without the intimidating descent and will help you decide if you want to try the larger zipline.
This Catamount zipline is also perfect for work groups, parties, families, and friends. It’s sure to get your adrenaline pumping with your favorite team!
