 Located at 11311 Mitchell Hill Road, GO Ape’s first treetop adventure course (zip lines,
obstacles and more!) in Kentucky is just minutes from downtown
Louisville in Jefferson Memorial Forest. Jefferson Memorial Forest is
a woodland tribute to area veterans and a treasure to all who visit. Designated
as an Audubon Wildlife Sanctuary, the forest has approximately 6,500 acres of
steep slopes covered with mature, second growth hardwood trees, and is the
largest municipal urban forest in the United States.
More than just a canopy tour, the Go Ape Jefferson Memorial
Forest course is made up of numerous rope ladders, 39 exciting crossings to
include the Log Swing, Wobbly Ladder, Japanese Bridge, Plank
Crossing, Yamazoe Steps, 2 Tarzan swings and 5 zip lines. Overall, there
are 5 individual sections within the course, each section taking you higher
into the forest canopy and finishing with a zip line more exciting than the
previous one!

trails as well as a children’s playground and picnic shelters. The Forest also
