Overview
Looking for a challenge the whole group can take on? Suspended over four acres of the forest floor, TimberTrek Adventure Park is our treetop ropes course park that encompasses seven different obstacle courses in the tree canopy.
Each aerial obstacle course within TimberTrek offers up different physical challenges that range in difficulty, from kid-friendly obstacles to difficult obstacles that challenge even our most experienced rock climbing guides!
The best part? You’ll be able to choose the course that’s most-suited for you and for your group. Warm up on an easier course at our West Virginia adventure park and then challenge yourself to one of the harder ones! TimberTrekeven hasa course that is perfect for the littlest adventurers in your group –kids as young as 4 can take on the challenge of TimberTrek!
Your group of up to 20 people (reservations are strongly recommended) will be given three hours to move along a crazy series of nets, swinging bridges, ziplines, suspended tunnels, platforms, and more. In total, TimberTrek offers seven unique treetop adventure courses split across four acres of forest.
TimberTrek is a self-guided adventure, but one of our trained guides will be on the ground to monitor the group and coach you through each challenge in our tree obstacle course every step of the way. So, gather the group, gear up, and get ready for an arboreal adventure unlike any other.
You know those people that always seem to be trying something new? You know – the kind that are game for anything? Yeah…you don’t have to be one of those people to enjoy TimberTrek or its various tree obstacle courses. But you just might, even for a short while, begin to feel like one of those adventure seekers by giving the aerial obstacle courses in TimberTrek a shot.
TimberTrek is fun. Some might even call it exhilarating. It’s also just a part of the larger Adventures on the Gorge resort, which, in case you didn’t know, has facilities located much closer together to each other than most of our competitors. That means whether you’re chasing our Aerial Adventures with a land adventure (get on solid ground — good choice!) or exploring a lake adventure (hey, whatever floats your boat!) we’ve got plenty to keep you busy.
While we welcome the whole family at our adventure park in West Virginia, there are some things you should keep in mind as our treetop obstacle course does have certain requirements and limits.
We’ll provide expert safety instruction and all the necessary safety gear, including helmets, gloves, and harnesses.
Stable closed-toed shoes that stay on (no flip flops or crocs), plus comfortable clothes that you can easily move around in. Skirts, dresses, and other loose-fitting clothing may get caught in our rigging and should not be worn for TimberTrek. A rain jacket is a good idea if weather dictates.
Trips will start and end at building number 8 on the Mill Creek side of campus. Our adventure park is just a short walk down the hill from the aerial check-in desk.
Each group that visits TimberTrek is given three hours to make their way through all seven obstacle courses or repeat the courses you like. This tends to be plenty of time for groups of up to 20 active, agile participants. Please arrive at least 15 minutes before your trip time.
Reservations are required, and minimum group sizes may apply. Please arrive at least minutes before your trip time.
Our hours of operation vary by season, but TimberTrek trips usually begin around 8 a.m. with multiple trips going out through the day. TimberTrek will operate rain or shine unless there is lightning, high winds, or ice. In the event of a storm, TimberTrek will close temporarily and reopen once weather allows. Time spent on the ground will not count against your purchase.
You do need a degree of physical fitness to complete our courses, but it's very rare for someone to stop climbing all together because they weren't fit enough. Start easy and work your way up!
No, our courses have trails underneath that loved ones can use to follow along with participants that are climbing.
Generally, each course will take around 30 minutes to complete. This all depends on the confidence of the climber and how many people on the course are ahead of you.
We teach you everything you need to know to be safe while climbing our courses. The courses do contain some easy and some physically challenging obstacles so there is a risk for scrapes and bruises on our course.
Although you can set your own pace at TimberTrek, our guides are absolutely critical. They ensure your safety by checking all of your gear. They’ll also push you along with positive encouragement!
Our gear is designed to catch you upon falling off any of our obstacles. At the most, you will simply be dangling until a guide can assist you (most folks are able to assist themselves back onto most obstacles).
