SUMMER HAS BEEN EXTENDED! Edge Adventures Aerial Park at Deep River Open Weekends in September

Beginning Labor Day Weekend, Edge Adventures Aerial Park – Deep River NWI will be open weekends through September and October.

Just because school begins, doesn’t mean summer has to end. There’s still time to finish up your summer bucket list and spend time doing something different. Whether you’re a novice adventurer or an experienced athlete, there are more than 50 challenging treetop obstacles and zip lines to provide thrills for guests at every skill level. Beginning Labor Day Weekend, Edge Adventures Aerial Park – Deep River NWI will be open weekends through September and October.

Weekend warriors can harness up and climb up into the trees to embark on adventures that include traversing across rope bridges, balancing on log beams, or climbing on cargo nets. They can also glide along on zip lines as they explore the beauty of nature while hanging out high up in the trees.

Edge Adventures provides all safety equipment – helmet, harnesses, belays and gloves. Guests participate in a safety briefing and practice course, and are assisted by Edge ACCT-trained staff throughout each of the course routes. They have the thrill of climbing, zipping and working through the courses with the security of knowing that they are 100 percent on the safety line from start to finish.
