Description

Zipline
Experience the thrill of gliding through the trees 30ft. in the air at speeds up to 20 miles an hour as you travel on the 330ft. long zip line. Guests glide along a suspended 3/8 inch steel cable using a pulley and comfortable climbing harness. Adventure Guides will make sure you are safely secure before you step off and experience the thrill of seeing the forest from a different point of view. First you cross a cable bridge to get to zip platform. Then you clip in and take off using gravity as your source of propulsion.

High Ropes
The ultimate challenge course with three levels taking you up to 40 ft. in the air! Nothing like it in the Mid-Atlantic! Start out by approaching the course via a cable bridge. TA employs a continuous belay system, which means that you only have to secure your safety line once for each level, letting you focus on your next challenge with confidence.

Each of the 18 traverses is designed to entertain and challenge participants. Try the islands in the sky, vine walk, loop walk, heebie jeebie or eagle walk to name a few. Conquer them all if you can! You can auto belay down or test yourself on the leap of faith.

Climbing Tower
See if you can scale the 12 routes up and down the 43ft. high climbing tower. The views are great from the top where you can rest and relax under our canopy roof. You can see the Little Patuxent River from the top.

Each of the four sides can accommodate two climbers at a time. TA employs auto belay systems for beginning climbers so you are completely safe as you tackle the challenging ascents and thrilling descents. For the more adventurous, TA has manual "just right" belay systems that it uses in its climbing lessons.

There are flat routes for beginners and an overhang route for more advanced climbers. There is a vertical playpen with many interesting elements like the cargo net and dangle duo to enhance your climbing experience. For a unique descent, climb headfirst down the Rainbow Serpent or tube net.

Giant Swing
You and two friends strap into your harness as the patented winch system pulls you back and up to almost 40ft. Then you are released with 2 Gs of force as you swing back and forth over the landscape.
