There is nothing quite like spending a hot summer day at the water park. Here in Idaho, we have several water parks that make for incredible day trips including one of our favorites — Roaring Springs. Located in Meridian, this is one of the largest water parks in the country with activities for individuals of all ages including the Endless River, a 0.25-mile lazy river where you’ll find us all summer long.
Roaring Springs Waterpark is one of the most popular summer destinations in Treasure Valley. This park features more than 20 attractions including those that will make your heart race to those where you can sit back and relax.
But if you are like me, when I visit a water park, I typically head straight for the lazy river. Roaring Springs is a bit unique because it has two rivers to enjoy — Endless River and Class 5 Canyon.
The Endless River is where you can sit back and simply float the summer day away.
This is a family-friendly lazy river that is one-quarter-mile long. As you weave through the park, you’ll travel at a slower pace, simply enjoying your time in the water.
If you want something a little more adventurous, check out Class 5 Canyon. This is Idaho’s first action river and rather than a lazy float, you will ride whitewater waves.
Kickboards are provided and there is no height requirement. However, all guests under 48 inches are strongly encouraged to wear life jackets.
Of course, after you ride on the river of your choice, continue your summer adventure by heading to attractions like Snake River Run or Corkscrew Canyon.
If you have young swimmers in tow, head to Kiddie Kowabunga, Leisure Lagoon, or the exciting Critter Crossing.
And when you want some time out of the water, rent a cabana and enjoy many amenities such as complimentary large lockers, ice water, free Wi-Fi, and the ability to order hand-delivered food and drinks.
For me, summer means time in the water and there’s no place better than a water park like Roaring Springs. Whether you want a lazy float or one with a little more action, you’ll find it here. Just make sure you come up and say hello – this is where you’ll find us all summer long.
