The Go Ape Treetop Adventure Courses at Eugene T. Mahoney State Park have closed for the season early because of significant damage from a recent windstorm.

“The safety and enjoyment of visitors is our top priority, and closing the courses now will allow us to begin the necessary repairs to ensure the courses are in top condition,” Mahoney Park Superintendent Michael Townsend said. “We plan to reopen in the spring of 2025, once all repairs are completed.”

Go Ape is a two- to three-hour journey through the forest canopy via a high-ropes adventure course featuring suspended obstacles, zip lines and incredible views.

Stay tuned to OutdoorNebraska.gov in the spring for information on the reopening of the courses.
