Tree Top Challenge

Do you dare take on the exhilarating Tree Top Challenge at Mallards Pike Lake? This high-rise woodland adventure will test your mettle to the extreme as you take on the Tank Trap, Itchen Crossing and much more.

The Stirrups will push your physical and mental ability to the limit as you twist and turn in an effort to reach the next stage. Mallards Ladder is a thin, challenging double wooden ladder with staggered rungs that will make your ascent into the treetops tricky, while The Shuffle is a true test of balance as you make your way from tree to tree.

Spanning a total of 806 metres, this adrenaline-pumping challenge sees you ascend 15 metres above the ground, cross an 18-metre long void, before whizzing down a 180 metre-long zip wire. Once you’ve conquered the course, ground level offers some great spots for a picnic or a gentle lakeside stroll.

Know before you go:

• Wear closed toe, flat shoes.
• Bring gloves, or buy them on the day.
• Bring change for parking.
• Wear suitable clothes for harness/wet weather.

Featuring an 84-metre long zip wire, a 10.6-metre high platform and a 14.1-metre crossing point too, the Tree Top Junior trail is a fun-filled hour of canopy capers for the whole family to enjoy.
