Kick back, let loose, and have a good 'ol time flying through the trees and over lakes!!! Afterwards you can pay a fee and go on three extra long zips. There is also a rock climbing wall.

My 12 year old son and I decided to try some 'Northern' zip lines after having done the Mammoth Cave Ziplines last year. The landing areas are on the ground here and are totally different than other zip lines we've been on. You have to approach them straight on to have any chance of landing on your feet. If you happen to land facing backward, you'll end up on your rear end in the dirt. Not bad, just different. The reason for the negative review had to do with one of the guides. When passing from one landing area to the next line, you have to cross a narrow suspension bridge over a small ravine. Following him across to about the halfway point, the bridge suddenly started to bounce with everyone on it. Looking ahead, our guide was jumping up and down (like a 4 year old), as if trying to throw everyone off. Some people in the group almost fell off, hanging onto the rope 'handrail' for dear life. Later found out they were ok being suspended from above on a zip line but were uneasy about walking on this type of bridge. The juvenile behavior was highlighted by hearing this same guide drop the F-Bomb at least a dozen times throughout our tour. Not sure if he was trying to impress some of the single ladies who happened to be in our group or what. I know my 12 year old has heard it, but he doesn't need to hear it when on a family activity like this. Won't be going back here or recommending to anyone. Too many other Zip Lines around.

Took my 13 year old twin daughters and my almost 7 year old son to Lark Valley since they had been begging me to try ziplines. The kids had a blast and enjoyed all the different lines especially going over the large pond they had onsite. I found the facility new, clean, well laid out, and the staff friendly. The lines were set-up to allow for traveling over a variety of terrains, not just through the woods and it was a great experience for all. Highly recommend and I know my kids would love to come back.

Very good guides and instruction. Fun and loved fire place and huge chair. Just GO. You will enjoy. They had some things for children too. Great for date.

Beautiful area, nice people and fun zipping. Be aware that while this is zipping thru the trees it is not a canopy tour. Most of the zipping starts on the ground and ends there. There are a couple of platforms but they are very low. If you have knee or other joint problems to any extent maybe forgo this one. If you do and I believe you will thoroughly enjoy it make sure you do ALL 13. There is a ten line tour which is hugely fun and an extra 3 very long lines. Two go over the soybean field and are just awesome. And of course Todd and Joby will make sure you are safe and have fun.

I took my aunt so that she could cross off something on her "bucket list". We had such a great time! Our guides were wonderful and kept her at ease. We went when the weather was cooler and I'm so glad we did!

I visited Lark Valley Zip Lines with my boyfriend and another couple this past weekend, and we cannot WAIT to get back! There are 13 total zip lines, some about a half mile long! We did 10 of them in about 2 hours and got some incredible footage! Some of the lines let you zip over water! The guides make it easy for people of all ages, everyone gets to enjoy themselves! In the fall the whole establishment is filled with life! Absolutely recommend this place, and the owner is an incredible guy, try to chat with him if you get a chance. I can't wait to get more friends to go with me and go back!

WOW what an experience !!! This is a must see and do when in the French Lick area. Matt and his crew were fantastic. They were extremely helpful and made you feel like family. GREAT job Matt!

For a first timer this pace is great! Guides (adam and kyle) went over all of safety precautions, were comical and made the trip more enjoyable. The older gentleman who handles money & calls needs to learn some common customer interaction, has no phone etiquette, he told us to sign a paper but didn't say what it was for, just tossed our change back on the table, just not good for customer contact. Did call & leave a message & got a call back as soon as they opened. Would like to go on more longer zip lines! Would also be great if they offered videos or pictures as a service.

We have an AWESOME time zip lining today!! Kyle and Tom (our guides) were very nice and made the day super fun!!! My kids were asking to go back before we were even finished! So I guess we will be planning another outing to Lark Valley. Great family fun!!

We had an awesome time on these zip lines in south central IN! What a great hidden treasure for the locals and fun adventure for those visiting West Baden/French Lick resorts. Our guides were very nice and knowledgeable, and they made my 6 and 8 year old boys feel very comfortable. We zipped through the woods, over water and deep valleys and over fields. The facilities were beautiful and the paddle boats and rock climbing at the end were a great way to finish a fun day!

Wife wanted to do sometime different, So here we are 6 of us total ages from 21-60. The staff was great and we have two guides that made it interesting. It's very safe but you wonder, when you are swinging from tree to tree. Also had a rock climbing wall I failed at that, would I go back for sure going to try and get a church group to go. It's out in the country, but just ask them there is plenty to do in the area.

Looked for something to do with the boys ( 18, 11 & 8) in the Patoka Lake area and found Lark Valley Ziplines. 1) Super nice staff - Garrett and Haley were great. They got us geared up and showed us the ropes (literally). 2) Setting - Woodland hills for some and over water for the last 4 lines. 3) "Woo Hoo" - that was our 8 year old son on his second zip line - half way down. He was first in line for all the rest. He had a 600 watt smile the rest of the day. 4) "That was cool" - from the 18 year old. Any reaction from that age group is worth the price of admission. 5) Cash - They don't take credit or debit cards so hit the ATM before you head out.. and getting a little extra for Garrett and Haley would be a good idea (they were worth it). 6) Morning - Summer is hot, so early and beating the heat is a good idea.

I'd been looking forward to trying zip lining with my sons for quite awhile. Lark Valley exceeded my expectations. Our group of 5 ranged from 8 years to 51. We all had a blast!! The bearded gentleman at the front was super nice. Then Haley and Garrett took our group along with some others on the 10, that's right, 10 zip lines. They progressively got bigger as we went so the ones that started out a little apprehensive were screaming in excitement in no time. The lay out was great so as we got off one zip line we were right next to the beginning of the next one. The woods were just beautiful to sail through too. We ALWAYS felt very safe. Haley and Garrett did a great job explaining the subtle differences in each line and made sure we optimized our experience. They also had just great personalities for dealing with the public. Thank you so much. We'll be back with a bigger group next year.
