Venture into the darkness of Ohio’s scenic Hocking Hills on the unforgettable Full Moon Zipline Tour offered by Hocking Hills Canopy Tours. Located in Rockbridge, Ohio, this thrilling nocturnal experience invites adventurers aged 10 and up to glide silently through the night sky, surrounded by the towering trees and rugged cliffs that define one of the state’s most beloved outdoor recreation areas. Hocking Hills is known for its breathtaking gorge systems, dramatic sandstone cliffs, and dense forests, making it a natural playground for hikers and thrill-seekers alike. But the Night Flight Tour adds an entirely new dimension—literally—to Hocking Hills’ offerings.
The tour spans approximately two hours, taking place on select full moon nights from June through November, when the moonlight casts dramatic shadows and brings the forest to life after dark. This course, designed for riders with prior ziplining experience, features a series of eco-conscious zip lines that cut across the park’s canopy with minimal artificial lighting, preserving the natural ambiance and maximizing suspense. As you soar through the night, the sounds and scents of the forest accompany you, offering a rare glimpse into the nocturnal world of this protected state park.
What makes this ziplining experience so special is not just the route or the thrill, but the chance to explore a natural area in a way few get to—under the glow of a full moon. Hocking Hills itself is a geological marvel; its sandstone cliffs and rock shelters have been carved over centuries by wind and water, creating unique formations like Old Man’s Cave and Ash Cave nearby. While this tour focuses on the canopy, these features are part of the same park system you’ll find nearby.
The team at Hocking Hills Canopy Tours is deeply connected to the park and committed to sustainability. They encourage guests to support The Friends of Hocking Hills State Park, a nonprofit organization dedicated to conservation and education efforts within the park system. This commitment, paired with a clear emphasis on safety and participant experience—such as weight restrictions and age policies—ensures a memorable, responsible adventure.
For visitors staying in nearby Logan or Athens, this tour offers an unmatched evening activity, a chance to escape the usual daylight trail and embrace an adrenaline rush beneath a sky full of stars. Bring your sense of adventure and closed-toe shoes, and prepare for an exhilarating flight unlike any other in Ohio’s outdoor landscape.
