***Please note we do not recommend using ride-sharing services (Uber, Lyft, etc) to get to our main outpost in Marshall for your rafting or ziplining trips. Though it is close to Asheville (about 30 minutes away), it is a quiet, rural area, and return rides can be challenging to find. Please plan on driving or having a dedicated ride to your adventure. If you have questions, please call us.
