Rope Course off I-395
Posted by: Huntington ()

My sister and I have each noticed a rope/ obstacle course in the woods off I-395 South. It is right past the Seminary Road exits, right next to the construction site for BRAC. Anybody know anything about it? I've been out to Hemlock, wasn't aware that there were such courses inside the beltway. Any info. would be appreciated. Thanks.

It is a set aside nature preserve built when they started tearing down all the trees in Mark Center. It was supposed to be also some kind of executive retreat one of those skills building courses.

Yes. It is worth walking through sometime if you get a chance. As far as I know it is open to the public during regular office hours on weekdays; I am not sure about weekends.

I went there recently. I was not impressed by the rope course, and was even less impressed by the guy that was leading kids through it. However, all the evergreen ferns in the woods are worth seeing.
