A zip line crosses the lake on a steel cable about 500 metres long, and the ride takes approximately one minute. There is also a climbing wall several metres high beside the lake. Adventure activities are subject to scheduling. If you plan to use the zip line or climbing wall, confirm the schedule and access in advance.
