From the Owner

"Highlands Aerial Park combines the feel of the alpine rope courses of Europe with the lush vegetation of Central America creating a World Class zip line Park. The park is designed for children, parents, and grandparents to create memories together.” With three distinct activities there is an adventure waiting for all ages!

Enjoy the World Class Zip Line that follows High Hollow Mountain and gives you a 270 degree view of surrounding mountains. Maybe you are a “first timer” and want to test drive the zips before excelling to the World Class Zip Line, then the Mountain Zip Line Tour is perfect for you. Children 4 years and older can enjoy the Brave Indian Junior Zip Line Adventure Course. The course is tree-based, and reaches elevations that excite and speeds that thrill, but nothing too intimidating for the younger riders. After your zip lining experience take a walk on the nature trails that begins at the Tree House with check-in, and continues as a self-guided walk of gradual descent to the headwaters of High Holly Creek. The creek is spring fed, and comes together from several different sources along its run to the Middle Creek Gorge on the adjacent Nantahala National Forest.

We look forward to meeting you in the trees and sharing this exciting experience with the entire family.
