The Brainerd Zip Line features seven thrilling zip
lines that open up gorgeous 15-mile views from
Mount Ski Gull. According to Kerfoot, “You’ll see
the Brainerd Lakes and the surrounding forest
like you’ve never seen it before.”
Mark Simonson,
The Kerfoot family name has been synonymous
with outdoor adventure since the 1930s. Lee
Kerfoot’s grandparents used to own and operate
the Gunflint Lodge. The family got into the zip
lining business in 2013 when they opened the
Kerfoot Canopy Tour in Henderson. A second
location, the Brainerd Zip Line on Mount Ski Gull,
opened for business in May 2016.

After the biologists were done with their work,
the zip lines were turned into a recreational
canopy tour that has inspired similar offerings
around the world, including right here in Central
Minnesota thanks to Lee Kerfoot, who lives in
Carver.

A zip line in simple terms is an inclined cable
or rope with a suspended harness, pulley,
or handle down which a person slides for
amusement. Historical evidence shows that zip
lines have been used in the Himalayas and Alps
for multiple purposes, including transportation.
Modern zip lining was made popular by wildlife
biologists who wanted to study the dense
forests of Costa Rica without disturbing the
environment.

brake pads, along with some instruction on
how to maneuver around the course. Then
accompanied by two Sky Guides who go along
on each tour, guests climb the first tower and
