Florida Man ziplines over quarry in Ocala
GAINESVILLE, Fla. (WCJB) - On this installment of Florida Man Adventures we find ourselves in beautiful Ocala at the Canyons Zipline and Adventure Park. After gearing up we take a ride via UTV to the zipline course. I’m given a short safety tutorial, then I’m allowed to warm up on the beginner line. After proving my mastery of the zip, we ascend to the tree tops and are on our way. The rocky landscape of a former quarry means there’s plenty to see as we fly over the property, and guides love sharing the unique surroundings with guests.
