Our adventure in Port Hope started off at the Treetop Trekking Ganaraska in the Ganaraska Forest on a pretty warm Saturday morning. Located at the Ganaraska Forest Centre, this park offers ton of activities for those ages 9+.
Thanks to Port Hope Tourism, we got to partake in the zip line and
aerial game treks ($59.99 per person), which is one of their most
popular activities. Guests have up to three hours to complete the treks.
Treetop Trekking consist of fun games like suspended bridges, Tarzan
swings, swinging logs, cable traverses, and zip lines. Don't fret if you're new to this - as
the park has a variety of courses ranging from beginners to
advanced.
We
arrived to the reception area, where we had to sign waiver forms and
given wristbands.
Once that was completed, we were grouped together and fitted with our
helmet and harness. Prior to getting onto the trekking courses, everyone
has to complete an orientation course. This process was to
make sure that everyone was capable of using their equipment, and
understanding of the rules. You also have to do a free-fall test to see
whether
you can pull yourself up or not - if you do lose footing. All of
the courses are pretty high up from the ground. Overall, the check-in
was very efficient and they do take safety very seriously at Treetop Trekking Ganaraska.
Don't forget to read and follow the rules.
The two beginner courses are Porcupine and Woodpecker. Despite being labelled as "easy" courses, it was a pretty intensive workout. I can't imagine how much harder the other four courses are like.
The courses present different levels of challenge. You are welcome to
progress through them all, or go back to redo the ones you enjoy most.
We had a blast at Treetop Trekking Ganaraska, and it's definitely a great place for family, friends, and teams to enjoy a day up in the tree tops.
