Floating Treetops Aerial Park Safety: What Every Adventurer Should Know

At Ozark Outdoors Resort, we believe adventure should always come with a healthy dose of safety. Our Floating Treetops Aerial Park is one of the most unique attractions in Missouri—where kayaks and canoes are suspended high in the trees, creating a ropes course unlike any other. It’s thrilling, challenging, and a whole lot of fun.

But before you clip in and climb up, it’s important to know what to expect. Whether you’re a first-time adventurer or a seasoned climber, following safety guidelines ensures your experience is not only exciting but also safe. Here’s everything every adventurer should know before tackling the Floating Treetops Aerial Park.

Safety First: Our Commitment to You

Your safety is our top priority. The Floating Treetops Aerial Park was designed with industry-leading equipment, professional installation, and regular inspections to ensure everything is secure and ready for use. Our trained staff members are always on-site to guide you, answer questions, and step in if you need assistance.

When you arrive, you’ll receive a full orientation that covers proper equipment use, course rules, and climbing techniques. Think of it as your roadmap to a safe and successful adventure.

Gear Up the Right Way

Every adventurer is outfitted with the proper safety gear before stepping onto the course. This includes:

• Harnesses: Secure and comfortable, designed to keep you safe at all times.
• Helmets: Protecting you from bumps and scrapes as you navigate obstacles.
• Carabiners and Clips: These keep you connected to the safety lines throughout the course.

Our staff will double-check your gear before you begin and show you how to use it correctly. Remember—never unclip from the safety line unless instructed by a staff member.

Know Your Limits

The Floating Treetops Aerial Park is designed for a variety of skill levels, but it does require some physical strength, balance, and coordination. Higher levels of the course are more challenging, so it’s important to listen to your body and know when to take a break.

• Start slow: If it’s your first time, begin with the easier sections to build confidence.
• Take breaks: Hydrate and rest between obstacles if needed.
• Challenge yourself safely: Push your limits, but don’t risk injury by attempting something you’re not ready for.

Age and Height Requirements

To ensure safety, the course has specific requirements for participants. Children must meet age, size, and sometimes weight guidelines to participate. These rules are in place to keep everyone safe and ensure the equipment functions properly. If you’re bringing kids, check the requirements ahead of time so everyone knows what to expect.

Listen to the Instructors

Our staff isn’t just there to hand out gear—they’re trained professionals who know the course inside and out. Pay close attention during the orientation and follow their instructions throughout your climb. If you’re unsure about an obstacle, ask for guidance. They’re there to help you succeed and have fun safely.

Respect the Course and Fellow Adventurers

Part of staying safe is being mindful of others. Give fellow climbers space, don’t rush through obstacles, and always wait until the person ahead of you has cleared an element before starting. Teamwork and patience go a long way in making the experience enjoyable for everyone.

Why Safety Matters

The Floating Treetops Aerial Park is more than just a ropes course—it’s a place to build confidence, face fears, and create unforgettable memories. By prioritizing safety, you can focus on the fun: balancing across suspended canoes, climbing rope ladders, and seeing the Ozarks from a whole new perspective.

When you feel secure, you’re free to embrace the adventure fully. And that’s what the Floating Treetops experience is all about.
