OREGONIA, Ohio A YMCA camp is getting ready to open two new zip lines over a southwest Ohio river as part of an outdoor attraction.
A judge rejected a conservation group's effort to block Camp Kern from putting up the lines in natural areas along the Little Miami River, saying it was no more intrusive than a permitted bike path.
The attraction allows people to be strapped into harnesses and "zip" along cable lines.
The Journal in Middletown reports each new line is more than 1,000 feet long and sends riders cruising for nearly a minute at up to 200 feet above the riverbank. The new lines take riders to a tower at Fort Ancient State Park.
The price for the zip line tours starts at $75.
