Both location will close a little early today for our annual staff appreciation day! We’ve had a great staff this season and think they deserve to have a little fun in the sun as well! We will still be open to the public from 10am-3pm, with the last vessels going by out at 2pm. Come out before we close, enjoy the water, and thank a staff member for all they do!

Summer’s going way too fast 😭
After this weekend, there are only 3 weekends left to get out on the Aqua Park before it comes down for the season after Labor Day.
We’re open weekends only from 10–6! Grab the kids, grab some friends, and come spend a couple hours climbing, sliding, jumping, and probably getting launched into the lake.
We’ll keep it up through Labor Day weekend, then that’s a wrap until next season.
Come get a few more lake days in while you still can 🤙

We’ve got one last surprise for the season…
As we move into weekends only, we figured we’d give you another reason to come out and ride. We just added another UNIT feature to the course, this time a double sided kicker!
It’s a little smaller than the XL, so if the XL has felt a little too much, this one should be perfect for getting started on. It’ll also be a good one for learning new tricks and getting them dialed before taking them bigger on the XL.
Come give it a hit this weekend 🤘
Hard to believe summer is already winding down.
This is our last week being open during the week before everyone heads back to school. If you’ve been meaning to come out, now’s the time.
Starting next week, we’ll only be open on Saturdays and Sundays from 10 AM to 6 PM.
We’ve still got a few more days to get out on the water, so come ride, hit the Aqua Park, rent a kayak or paddleboard, or just enjoy one more summer day with us.
See y’all out here.

The rain has finally given us a break and the Aqua Park is waiting!
If the kids have been bouncing off the walls this week, bring them out and let them do it on the water instead. We have plenty of room to climb, jump, slide and wear themselves out.
Both locations are open today from 10am to 6pm, so come make the most of the dry weather before Alabama changes its mind again!

Happy 4th of July weekend! 🇺🇸
We’ve got a fun weekend ahead, and we can’t wait to see everyone out on the water!
Today (July 3): Since Oak Mountain’s Fire on the Water fireworks show is tonight, our Marina location will be closing an hour early.
• Marina: 10 AM–6 PM
• Last rentals go out at 5
• Everyone off the water by 6
Our Main Location will be open like normal until 7 PM.
Tomorrow (July 4):
Aqua Park tickets are $20 this weekend to celebrate the holiday!
To give as many people as possible a chance to ride, instead of one hour passes, we will be selling 2-hour sessions on cable all weekend.
If you know you’re coming, fill out your waiver on our website before you get here. It only takes a minute and helps us get everyone checked in and out on the water a whole lot quicker!
We hope everyone has a fun and safe holiday weekend! See you soon! 🇺🇸
