Sports and the Outdoors

Open Sky Adventures. This outfitter operates a pontoon boat at the lower end of the gorge, offering a fascinating perspective of the cliffs and wells, from May through October; rides are C$50. Zip-lining, rappelling, deepelling (like rappelling only you are facing downward), and kayaking are also offered. 303 Rte. 105, Drummond, Grand Falls, New Brunswick, E3Y 2G3. 506/582–1111; 506/477–9799; www.openskyadventures.com.

Zip-Zag. Two zip lines cross the gorge, one from the Ron Turcotte Bridge and the second crossing the falls to the Malabeam Tourist Center, the latter following the course of Van Morell's historic tightrope walk in 1904. To add even more excitement, you'll be racing against the person on the other zip line. There's a weight limit of 275 pounds, but other than that—racers take note—the heavier you are the faster you'll zip. 25 Madawaska Rd., Grand Falls, New Brunswick, E3Y 1C6. 888/494–7924; www.zipzag.ca. C$46, includes 2 crossings.
