FAYETTEVILLE – A unique business in Fayetteville is attracting thrill seekers and nature lovers alike. ZipQuest is an ecofriendly business with nearly a mile of zip lines throughout the forest of Carvers Falls.

The course takes two and a half hours to complete and covers more than 25 acres of land, including the only waterfall in the Sandhills.

The company focuses on creating an informative experience with very little impact on the environment, enabling visitors to enjoy nature without endangering their surroundings.

"It's very ecofriendly. If you do get out here, you see we talk about the course, how it was constructed, how safe it is for the environment, it's really good to see that. So if you're an outdoorsy kind of person, it's a really good place to go,” said ZipQuest guide Carmen Rosenthal.

ZipQuest was voted one of the top 10 ziplines in the United States by USA Today.
