Mcgaheysville: Water Park, Zip Lines and Golf

Mcgaheysville can be explored through several distinct leisure offerings: zip lines, a water park, golf and winter snow tubing. When choosing what to do, consider whether you want to focus on specific course features, water attractions, golf or an architectural site.

Zip Lines: A Course or a Tour

The details for the Mega Zip emphasize different features than those for the Canopy Tour. The Mega Zip is described as 800 feet long, with speeds of up to 30 miles per hour. The Canopy Tour, by contrast, is described as lasting two hours; it winds through the forest and includes four bridges and six zip lines ranging from 90 to 470 feet long.

This lets you compare the two experiences using different features: length and top speed are the focus for the Mega Zip, while the Canopy Tour is defined by its duration, route and individual elements. The 90-to-470-foot range refers to the Canopy Tour’s six zip lines. This keeps the details about the course and the tour clearly distinct.

Water Park and Golf Courses

Massanutten Indoor/Outdoor WaterPark offers eight water slides and a lazy river. It also has the FlowRider®, a surf simulator described as Virginia’s first and largest. The slides, lazy river and surf simulator are distinct features of the water park; the FlowRider® is specifically identified as a simulator.

Golf enthusiasts can play two 18-hole courses at Massanutten Resort Golf in McGaheysville. Mountain Greens has heavily terraced tees and fairways. Woodstone Meadows is at the foot of the mountain. These features provide two specific points of reference when considering the courses: Mountain Greens’ pronounced elevation changes across its tees and fairways, and Woodstone Meadows’ location at the base of the mountain.

Winter Snow Tubing and Other Travel Interests

Winter snow tubing at Massanutten Family Adventure Park includes up to 16 lanes. Each is 900 feet long, with a vertical drop of 120 feet. These details describe both the possible number of lanes and their length and vertical drop. As a winter leisure activity, snow tubing is distinct from the zip lines and water attractions.

Architecture and wine tasting offer other distinct interests. The main complex of Cave Hill Farm near McGaheysville includes a two-story brick residence built around 1847, featuring elements of the Federal and Greek Revival styles. Brix & Columns Vineyard offers wine tastings. Alongside sports-oriented activities, visitors can explore a historic building or enjoy a tasting.
