Welcome to Historic Banning Mills. We are an adventure resort in Whitesburg, GA (about 45 min. from Atlanta). We hold the world record for the longest zip line canopy tour and tallest free-standing rock wall in the world (yes, that is two certified Guinness world records)! Our adventure options include zip lining, aerial adventures, kayaking, Eco-Spider ATV tours, hiking trails with suspension bridges, horseback riding, summer camps, team building, meeting spaces, birds of prey nature shows, and special events. We offer treehouses, cabins, and Inn rooms. Historic Banning Mills is a public 501(c)(3) conservation and retreat center with a mission to preserve the unique and pristine ecosystems of the Snake Creek Gorge and Chattahoochee watershed areas, as well as the extensive history of the Banning Mills township and gorge areas.

Reading back the story on the Cape Canopy Tour construction, I am in even greater admiration of the team than before. While on the tour, construction seems near impossible, especially considering that most was done by pure and simple manpower. The steel cables, steel platform frames, all the wood, everything was hiked deep into the mountains and hoisted up the cliffs. They used no foundation or concrete in the construction to leave an as small as possible footprint, if ever the system is removed.
Next door, Monkeyland is a sanctuary that has rescued more than 11 species of previously captive primates and rehabilitated them in a natural forested habitat. Monkey safaris take visitors to see lemurs, languors, squirrel monkeys, and a host of other charismatic primates along a 128-meter canopy walk and viewing deck. Multilingual guided tours are also available. 2ff7e9595c
