ABOUT ARBORTREK CANOPY ADVENTURES
OUR STORY
WHO IS ARBORTREK?
ArborTrek is a company built of talented people who are passionate about exploring the natural world, empowering people, and providing individuals, small groups, families, and corporations the opportunity to share an unforgettable adventure together.
Additionally, ArborTrek provides the opportunity for established tour operators, resorts, and landowners with wooded property near tourist destinations or near densely populated areas, the opportunity to enter into the emerging eco-adventure park market with the management experience and financial backing necessary to be successful.
HOW ARBORTREK BEGAN
Inspired by emerging opportunities in the eco-adventure market and frustrated by the limited role of a design/build vendor, Michael Smith launched ArborTrek Canopy Adventures’ flagship operation at Smugglers’ Notch Resort in November 2010 with the goal of being the premier provider of zip line canopy tours and aerial adventure parks in the U.S. and Canada. A second park was opened in 2014 at Fall Creek Falls State Park in Tennessee.
While ArborTrek is a relatively new company, the experience and systems behind ArborTrek are rooted in the success and growth of many of the top tours in the U.S. and Canada. ArborTrek has uniquely positioned itself to capitalize on the growing eco-adventure trend by providing the opportunity for established tour operators, resorts, public parks and landowners with wooded property to enter into the market with the financing, design, installation, training, and management experience necessary to be successful. ArborTrek is currently seeking locations across the United States and Canada.
OUR MISSION
Be the premier provider of zip line canopy tours and adventure parks in the United States and Canada.
BUSINESS FOCUS
