Highlands Aerial Park offers high-adrenaline zipline courses and guided outdoor experiences set in the Appalachian temperate rain forest. Located within a scenic 95-acre forest, the park operates a range of experiences including Half and Full Mountaintop Zipline Tours, Zippy’s Treetop Adventure, a family-friendly Golf and Zip package, a narrated UTV tour, and HAPpy Day Camp for children. Expert guides lead every tour, emphasizing safety with professional instruction, modern equipment, and clear briefings before each run.
Visitors can choose the Full Mountaintop Tour with eight ziplines — including the towering Squealing Mare — or the more relaxed Half Tour. Zippy’s Treetop Adventure is designed for families, combining two ziplines, suspension bridges, a balance beam, and a floating platform for a tree-to-tree challenge suitable for multiple generations. The Golf and Zip package pairs scenic ziplines up to 250 feet high and 1,550 feet long with a round at Sky Valley Country Club. The UTV Tour provides a 60–90 minute guided trail ride featuring views of the 300' Upper Middle Creek Falls and stretches of the Appalachian Trail.
HAPpy Day Camp runs as a four-day program for kids ages 6–9 and mixes outdoor skills, creative projects, and guided adventures. The park’s mix of certified guides, family options, and varied itineraries makes Highlands Aerial Park a reliable choice for visitors seeking safety-conscious, well-run outdoor adventure in the Southern Appalachians. Advanced reservations, flexible group options, and clear COVID-era safety protocols further strengthen guest confidence across seasonal operations. Staff hold multiple certifications and local rescue partnerships.
