Geauga Park District’s 2026 seasons for high ropes and boat borrowing kicks off Saturday, May 23. If you’re interested, we hope to see you out there, and please bookmark this page for current information on both opportunities.
Upcoming exceptions:

Additional exceptions will be posted here as they come up throughout the season.
Reservations are required. As space is available, same-day reservations can be made online, by phone or onsite. Geauga County residents can climb for free (ID required). Sessions will be conducted rain or shine, but will be canceled due to severe weather such as thunderstorms. Last minute weather-related closures are posted to our social media, and efforts are made to call all affected registrations. Click the SMS when registering for last minute updates.

Ropes Course Waiver Form • Safety Rules of Participation
Ropes sessions are one hour in length; group size is up to 8 people. Admission is free only for Geauga County residents (IDs checked for proof of residency). All out-of-county residents are $20, even if they are registered by, or included on the same reservation as, a Geauga resident. Fees must be paid by credit card, either online or onsite at check-in.
With at least two weeks’ prior notice, ropes can still be reserved by outside camp or corporate groups with variable schedules based on group needs. Contact Trevor at twearstler@geaugaparkdistrict.org or 440-226-2548 for more information.
