Zipline facility opening in Laplace
A zipline course built over Maurepas Swamp is opening this month in Laplace.
Zip NOLA is located at 301 Peavine Road. The facility features five ziplines built 60 feet above the swamp and educates visitors on the area’s history and wildlife.
Zip NOLA also has two suspension bridges, a spiral tree staircase and over 20,000 linear feet of advanced zipline technology, including magnetic braking devices and redundancies, a news release said.
Each tour has two local guides to supervise the course, adhere to safety protocols and educate guests, the release said. The facility also features a gift shop with an elevated 2,000-square-foot deck overlooking the swamp. The shop offers merchandise, souvenirs, snacks and two critter enclosures for baby alligators, turtles and fish.
