MIXED BAG
Conquer your fears and take in Eugene T. Mahoney State
Park's breathtaking views from a new perspective. Opening
April 11, Go Ape Treetop Adventure is the park's latest outdoor
addition, allowing visitors to dangle among the birds and
journey across the park's forest canopy by rope and zipline.
Go Ape will test your critical thinking, coordination,
balance and stamina as you navigate your way across
suspended obstacles, swings and exhilarating ziplines. Fun
and challenging for individuals and families, this high-ropes
course can also provide team building opportunities among
companies and groups.
Treetop Adventure usually takes 2-3 hours to complete,
and participants will be safely secured by harness at all
times. The course is open to anyone ages 10 and up. However,
participants must be at least 4 feet, 7 inches tall and weigh
no more than 285 pounds. Good physical fitness is required,
but no great deal of athleticism is necessary.
A state park permit is required to enter Mahoney State
Park. The cost is $49 per person for ages 16 and older, and $39
for ages 15 and under. For more information and reservations,
