Before You Go

Grippy sneakers or approach shoes improve footing on ladders and bridge planks; sandals are not permitted on the course.
Bring water and light snacks
A small hydration pack keeps hands free for crossings and helps prevent fatigue during the 2–3 hour visit.
Mind the weight limit
Maximum participant weight is about 265 lbs—check when booking and on arrival to ensure safe harness fit and equipment performance.

Conservation Note
The park operates within a wooded parcel where staying on designated trails protects understory plants and nesting birds; visitors are asked to pack out trash and avoid disturbing wildlife.
The Cape’s coastal plain formed from glacial deposits and salt-marsh ecosystems; local recreation areas evolved from small-scale summer tourism trends in the 20th century.
