Aerial Park Details

The Aerial Park is a series of platforms and “bridges” in a 5 acre section of the woods near the Tannenbaum Lodge. Platforms are built in the trees and bridges and zip lines connect the platforms. Bridges may be a log, hanging chunks of wood or other obstacles or ladders and the challenge is to get across to the next platform. It is not all strength; it is more strategy and balance.

There are 13 courses with varying levels of difficulty. The more difficult the course, the higher it is in the trees. There are:

  • 3 yellow courses (Sunflower, Sunshine and Snapdragon),
  • 5 greens (Forest Run, Mountain Trail, Grand Rapids I and Grand Rapids II and Fern Gully)
  • 2 blues (Waterfall and Rip Tide)
  • 2 single black diamonds (Black Storm and Black Widow)
  • 1 double black (The Commando)

All courses except Commando have at least one zip line and some have multiple. Grand Rapids is a dual zip line course that allows Sky High trekkers to go from the park to the base via two sets of 6 side-by-side zip lines. The sixth and final zip line travels down across the Tannenbaum base area to finish next to the Tannenbaum Lodge; making it an exciting end to this great adventure!
