Highlands Aerial Park
Issue: 2020/07 – July
Highlands Aerial Park is recognized as one of the finest “Tree Based” Zipline Parks in the World by several knowledgeable sources. The signature “Squealing Mare” line has been claimed to be the singular best experience of its kind. Trip Advisor, the number one rating service, named HAP in the top five operations in the country, currently top 15 in the world, and consistently in the top five of over 300 outdoor activities in North Carolina.
No wonder this attraction has served over 100,000 visitors in the last eight years and is the “Must Do” attraction when in the area.
HAP is beginning its ninth year, and every two years or so they have added an attraction to satisfy the adventurous repeat guest. After all, a day at the park has become a tradition for families to return to each year as the youngsters qualify for the next challenge level.
This year’s addition is a departure from the new daring thrill event to a more comfortable meandering tour designed for the parents and grandparents who have zipped, climbed, swung, and hiked enough and need a more relaxing experience while the more active of their party enjoy exhilarating thrills at height and speed in the trees.
The guided UTV tour of the Park’s 95 acres surrounded by the adjoining 100,000 acres of National Forest Service land is a leisurely 75- to 90-minute ride spent discussing the area’s history, both ancient and recent, the botanical and ecological features, the native wildlife, and the generational settlers of this particular land. The information is provided with humor and local color. Questions, comments, and personal insights are welcome in establishing a dialogue between guide and guests.
The forest’s natural beauty with seasonal highlights, the little known falls of Middle Creek, and the unparalleled panoramic view site offer photo opportunities galore.
A knowledgeable guide will tailor the loosely-structured experience to the guests’ particular interest.
The UTV tour is limited to a maximum of four guests and advanced reservations are strongly encouraged. Visit Highlandsaerialpark.com or call (828) 526-8773 for booking info.
