I have been waiting 6 years since I discovered this place to go! Worth every penny and every mile we drove. We took our family of 5 on a Tuesday. We rented a cabana (worth the money) and life jackets. There was plenty of parking. Crowds were minimal. Our kids are age 14 and 11. They loved it! They jumped from the 20, 15 and 10 ft cliff jumps. They stated the large water slide was super fast! Fun but hurt a bit hitting the water as it blast you into it. We swam out to the inflatable swing and did that a few times. Be warned it’s slippery and a bit difficult if you’re not upper body strong. Next we went to the fishing dock. You can swim or wade to it. We spent an hour jumping and pushing one another off. The shallow area near there was uncomfortable hot water, but it was 100 degrees. The “sand” on the beach is much like a river bank. Rocky yet sandy. Wear water socks or shoes! Some of the rocks are sharp. Along with that it is gravel when you are walking up to jumps and the slide. (The small slide is closed) We had a great time and the lifeguards seemed to be very attentive. But I would also say swim at your risk. They use color the water blue with marine dye (it’s safe) so be aware your can’t see super deep down into the water. The water goes up to 15ft (it’s define by ropes) and was a very comfy temp. We will definitely be coming again.

A blast. Get there early to beat the crowd for a good spot and life jackets I wish were an option on the slide and jump areas

Very blue water. Surprisingly warm water too. Fun place with all the jumps and slides to entertain you for a few hours.

Honestly it was a great day, decent food and good drink prices make for a fun day. Definitely recommend water shoes there are rocks everywhere.. we rented a covered picnic table but really only used it to lay our stuff off and there are only like four cabanas that have a good spot everything else is a good walk away from the water and opposite side of the place from the bar.. if it was closer or a 2nd one open near us I would have enjoyed some more for sure!!

Felicia Frye-Claussen | Aug 9, 2019

I think it was $10 for adults and $6 for under 10. Under 10 is required to get a life jacket though.

Is this place family friendly?

Lara Ward | Aug 8, 2018

Oh yes most definitely a family place I would be aware that weekends can be rather Rowdy as they do have alcohol beverage sales on premises. Staff and ownership are absolutely excellent and they will bend over backwards to see that your family is taken care of. I would suggest you rent a pavilion for the day which would Supply you with a barbecue Grill so take food that you can grill like hot dogs and hamburgers. They have Pavilions and tents that will cover group sizes of just about any size you want small or large.
