Overview of pools and the water park
The resort features a three-acre water park complex and four outdoor pools. The water park area includes multiple waterslides, a winding lazy river, and a lagoon-style waterfall pool.

Waterslides and safety
The slide complex includes several tube and body slides. A height rule applies for slide riders: slides carry a 48-inch minimum height requirement for safety.
Guests should check for posted slide rules and lifeguard coverage—some visitor reports indicate lifeguard presence can vary by area (for example, reports have noted times when the lazy river had no lifeguard on duty). Follow all posted safety signs and staff instructions.
- 48-inch minimum height on waterslides
- Check posted rules at each slide and pool before riding
- Lifeguard staffing may differ by pool area
| What to confirm on arrival | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Current lifeguard coverage | Safety and supervision—especially for children |
| Slide height and weight rules | Ensures you meet ride requirements |
| Pool hours and heating status | Plan swims and evening use |

Lazy river and family pools
The lazy river winds through landscaped scenery and is a popular spot for families to relax together. Sources describe it as roughly 1,000–1,100 feet long.
The waterfall-style lagoon pool at the center of the resort is open to all ages and provides a shallow/play-friendly area adjacent to the waterslides and pool decks.
- Lazy river length reported around 1,000–1,100 feet
- Lagoon/waterfall pool is family-friendly and open to all ages
