Best Places to Slackline in Laramie

One of the newest recreational sports is slack lining. Slacklining has its origins in rock climbing, as climbers began to experiment with walking across thin pieces of webbing, much like a tight rope walker walks across ropes. However, slack lining is no longer only for climbers, as pre-set up slacklining packages are now available at outdoor goods stores, such as REI. These premade sets include a length of webbing, typically about 30 feet, as well as a synch. These sets are easy to wrap around trees and tighten with the synch.

While increasing in popularity, slacklining is not easy. Most new slackliners can only take one to two steps on a slack line before losing their balance. However, advanced slackliners can walk backwards, sideways, jump, and do other tricks on slack lines. The two best places to work on your slacklining in town include Washington and Undine Park. These two parks have plenty of stout trees about 20 to 30 feet apart, the ideal length for a slackline.
