Your adventure starts NOW!

Reserve your date and time to challenge our five adventure courses. Family owned and operated, Carolina Treetop Challenge is like playing in a treehouse suspended dozens of feet off the ground. We are located just south of downtown Albemarle, North Carolina, near Morrow Mountain State Park on the west side of the Uwharrie National Forest.

Safety is our FIRST and MOST IMPORTANT RULE. All equipment and structures conform to state safety regulations and the guidelines established by the Association for Challenge Course Technology. Everyone participating is required to attend the safety demonstration by our trained instructors prior to starting the course. Carolina Treetop Challenge uses secure, expertly engineered structures, quality materials, and construction by TreeGo, an industry leader in outdoor climbing adventure parks. Our courses undergo continuous inspection, from the equipment to the trees.

  1. The GREEN Course at Carolina Treetop Challenge consists of beginner level obstacles placed in the canopy, from 10 feet to 20 feet above the ground. The zip line and physical challenges are rated for ages 10 and older. Each component of the treehouse style obstacle course is carefully designed to allow use by novices to the world of tree rope courses.

  3. The SILVER Course at Carolina Treetop Challenge begins with a climbing wall to change up the entrance. These physical challenges are rated for ages 10 and older. While it is a shorter course, the challenges begin to become a bit more daunting.
