The 1,100-Foot Long Lazy River In Maryland Where You’ll Find Us All Summer Long

Summer in Maryland often requires us to find creative ways to beat the heat. One of our favorite remedies for a humid summer afternoon is a few turns around the lazy river at Splash Mountain Water Park. This 1,100-foot river gently winds and turns its way around the park, and all that's required of you is to sit back, relax, and enjoy the view.

One of the most beloved attractions in Ocean City, Splash Mountain is perhaps the most exhilarating way to stay cool in the summertime.

Fun for all ages, the water park boasts 16 slides and attractions suitable for all ages.

The park is perhaps most famous for its adrenaline-inducing slides, which can be fun for a little friendly competition...

...or perhaps some family bonding. Either way, the experience is unforgettable.

But perhaps the true gem of this waterpark is its lazy river. What it lacks in speed in exhilaration it more than makes up for in tranquility. It's the perfect place to catch your breath or chat with a friend.

After you've taken a few turns around the river, hop back onto your favorite slide to start the experience all over again.

Or, simply stay in your float and enjoy going around and around.
