If you've ever been to Lincoln City, Oregon without a visit to Salishan Coastal Lodge's Aerial Park, man are you missing out on an exhilarating time! I was lucky enough to be there on opening day a few years back, and our whole family agreed it was the most fun we'd had together in forever. At that point, the aerial park was still in its fledgling Beta state; recently it became exponentially more awesome (as if that was even possible).

The Caveats

Before you ascend into the treetops, please keep in mind a few essential requirements. Participants must be at least 8 years old, with no exceptions. Children between 8 and 12 must be accompanied by an adult, maintaining a supervision ratio of 1:1, while teenagers can spread their wings and explore independently. There is also a weight limit of 275 lbs, and for safety, closed-toe shoes and full-finger gloves are a must. Remember, the Aerial Park is open rain or shine, so come prepared to face the elements head-on. This is Oregon, after all.
