Nature Trail Climbing Wall

The Nature Trail Climbing Wall will become the third experience in the thrilling new “Adventure Tour,” which will also include a trek through the treetops on the nearly completed Forest Canopy Bridge, sponsored by Mackinac Associates, and the soaring opportunity of the Eagle’s Flight Zip Line. The “Adventure Tour” costs $5 in addition to park admission. The climbing wall, attached to the side of the 50-foot tower, is a fun and exciting opportunity to test brain and brawn by ascending a vertical nature trail through “layers of the forest.” The wall will contain interactive panels that will open climbers’ senses to nature, including sounds and sight of forest creatures. By activating buttons along the way, climbers will hear the song of a chickadee, the call of a rose-breasted grosbeak, and the scream of a hawk. They will see holes made by sapsuckers, chrysalis of caterpillars, and tiny ladybugs. Auto-belay harnesses are provided for automatic, safe and slow descent down the climbing wall.
