Utah Stakes Claim to World’s Longest “Over Water” Zipline

Utah is now home to the World’s longest “over water” zipline. Built and owned by Zipline Utah, the zipline is known as the “Screaming Falcon.”

Zipline Utah is located at the Deer Creek Reservoir, about 35 minutes from Park City and just South of Heber City, UT. The zipline stretches 3,900 feet over Rainbow Bay on the east side of the reservoir and is open year-round.

The Screaming Falcon zipline is a part of a larger offering from Zipline Utah. The adventure park also features 7 aerial suspension bridges and challenge courses that combine ziplines and towers for courses than can take up to 3 hours.

I’ve ridden two other ziplines in the area, one at Park City Mountain Resort, and one at the Utah Olympic Park, but I can’t say I’ve been on one over water. Sundance Mountain Resort offers a zipline as well just down the road.

There’s some pretty interesting and crazy ziplines scattered throughout the World as well. Some other notable ziplines include:
