An Inside Look At Ozark Outdoors Resort’s Floating Treetops Aerial Park

September 11, 2026 Activities

Whether you’re pitching a tent under the stars or floating down the Meramec River on a raft, tube, canoe, or kayak, there’s plenty to do at ground level within Ozark Outdoors Resort.

Look up through the canopy above the bank, though, and you’ll spot an entirely different way to experience Missouri’s favorite outdoor playground.

Suspended high above Turtle Pond, the Floating Treetops Aerial Park at Ozark Outdoors Resort offers kids, adults, and anyone looking to step out of their comfort zone the chance to challenge their limits.

A view from the treetops

Floating Treetops is an immersive two-hour aerial journey designed for everyone ages 6 and up.

To be clear, this is no run-of-the-mill ropes course. Floating Treetops Aerial Park’s unmistakable river theme means that you’ll be navigating the Canoe Tight Rope, swinging across The Ladder, and scaling the giant Spider Web. As you scale the treetop structure, you’ll tackle monkey rings, cargo nets, balancing beams, and spinners, finishing each tier with a zip line ride through the fresh Ozarks air.

No experience? No problem. Every session begins on the ground with a safety orientation at Ground School. Trained course guides fit you with safety gear, including harnesses, helmets, and gloves, and remain with your group throughout your aerial adventure. All you need to bring is a pair of sturdy, closed-toe shoes and a willingness to challenge yourself and embrace the thrill.

An elevated Ozarks experience for every crew

With six progressively challenging courses, Ozark Outdoors Resort’s Floating Treetops Aerial Park is the ideal activity for groups of all kinds:

  • Workplace Outings: Step away from the office for an impactful team-building event that sharpens problem-solving skills, builds rapport between coworkers, and improves communication in a fun, supervised environment.
  • Youth and Outdoor Education: From local kids’ camps and youth organizations to homeschool co-ops seeking a dynamic physical education day, Floating Treetops turns strength and coordination training into a fun and unforgettable interactive adventure.
  • Celebrations and Milestones: High-flying challenges make an unforgettable centerpiece for energetic bachelor and bachelorette parties, weekend wedding guests looking for memorable outings, and multigenerational family reunions where everyone can test their courage at their own speed.
  • Clubs and Group Retreats: Ozark Outdoors Resort regularly hosts church groups on fellowship retreats, local adventure clubs scouting their next thrill, college fraternities taking a weekend trip, and visiting RV rallies, groups, and clubs looking for an exciting excursion during their rural Missouri stopover.

How the aerial park complements your weekend getaway

Roll into Ozark Outdoors to enjoy Floating Treetops Aerial Park as a standalone activity, or experience it alongside everything else the resort has to offer.

Imagine this: you start your morning high in the treetops, conquering the ropes course while the early morning mist clears off Turtle Pond. By early afternoon, you swap your safety harness for a life jacket and head down to the banks of the Meramec River for a float down the water.

As the sun sets, you gather around a campfire to trade stories about who had the best moves on the high ropes and settle into your choice of accommodations. From primitive tent sites along the riverbank to full-hookup RV sites and cozy resort cabins, staying on-site allows you to craft a multi-day getaway without ever leaving the property.
