This Underrated Water And Adventure Park In New Hampshire Is The Most Fun You’ve Had In Ages

When summer comes around in New Hampshire all we want to do is get outside. There are plenty of hikes and fun adventures in the mountains to be had, but sometimes we just want good old fashioned amusement park fun. And in the summer, there’s nothing better than a water park to help cool down. Today we’re focusing on one of our favorite summer places in the Granite State. It’s a fun water park, but it also offer the adventure that comes with being at an amusement park.

Canobie Lake Park, in Salem, has been making New Hampshire families happy since 1902.

Nestled within the trees next to (you guessed it) Canobie Lake.

Originally a trolley park, Canobie Lake Park opened to draw more people to the area for tourism. And, for the last 100 years it's done just that.

Many people come here to appreciate the adventure rides, including the Corkscrew rollercoaster that has two upside-down corkscrews.

You'll find an adventure for every person, including gravity defying rides as well as the more tame ones.

And the slightly older kids will love the exhilaration of their legs swinging through the air high above the trees.

The adventure rides are fantastic, but this place is extra special because it's one-stop-shop that also offers water rides!

Castaway Island offers three water slides, a "rain fortress" with all sorts of ways to get wet and the new tidal river.

The river begins with a dip in the wave pool as you make your way to the start of the river. The river creates waves every 10 seconds which send you through the Castaway Island oasis. It's a great way to relax and one of just a few that exist in the country.

Start your day with the water park and then spend the rest of the day with dry adventures, or do things the opposite way. No matter the order, you're sure to have a great time.

Canobie Lake Park operates during different hours throughout the spring, summer and fall so you’ll want to check them out here. You can also click that link to get additional information about the park itself. If you have specific questions, give them a call on 508-405-5253. Address: 85 N Policy Street, Salem, NH 03079.

We also love this classic New Hampshire amusement park. You’ll probably remember it from your own childhood!
