High Ropes
This is a thoroughly challenging activity. Picture yourself 50 feet in the air traversing along a steel cable with the guidance of trained instructor. Of course, you are connected to a harness and webbing that can easily hold a 3,000-pound pick-up truck; however, it does not take away the sheer exhilaration of this thrilling experience.
Iroquois Springs has an extensive ropes course with 15 elements.
