HELPING FAMILIES MAKE MEMORIES SINCE 1983!

Slidewaters strives to provide a better than expected experience for every guest, team member and business associate by offering the safest, cleanest and friendliest service possible. It is our goal to create an atmosphere in which everyone wishes to return to enjoy our beautiful park another day.


SLIDEWATERS OFFERS SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE.

Whether the guest is 3 or 103, Slidewaters is confident every guest can find a way to build relationships and make memories with their friends and families. Our water attractions offer plenty of no stress, no intimidation  options as well as a few thrill rides that get anyone's heart rate elevated!


We've seen 1 and 2 year olds pulling their parents back to the top of the hill for all day sliding and we've seen grandparents leave having had more fun than the kids. Between easy floats around the Lazy River, competitive races on the Downhill Racer or one of our numerous body or tube slides, each guest can easily find a way to PLAY. ALL. DAY.

LAZY RIVER

GO WITH THE FLOW

Enjoy views of beautiful Slidewaters and Lake Chelan while you float around the Lazy River

Added in 2012, this attraction is designed for those who want to create their own water fun or those who just want a laid back float along the over 500 foot river. Ease into the river through our large zero-depth area or via the stairs by the Downhill racer. Tube or no tube that is the question.


ZERO DEPTH BEACH

Home to the 150-gallon tipping bucket and numerous other spray features, the zero-depth zone is great for all ages. Young guests love to play in the spray features coming out of the ground and older kids love the water from above options. Keep an eye on the tipping bucket though, because a surprise tip can knock any guests down into the water!

BODY SLIDES

"THE MAINS"

Blue Blaster (#1) is an over 300 foot slide offering a great mix of straight runs, turns and drops. Enjoy it by yourself or with a young child. Sidewinder (#2) requires you to be ready from the start on this slide as you enter a 360 turn almost immediately and then enjoy multiple quick drops, turns and a tunnel before finally getting splashed into the pool.

Corkscrew (#3) is aptly named, this slide allows you to enjoy multiple 360 turns, fast drops, a tunnel and finally a big splash into the pool at the bottom. Bonzai Pipeline (#4) is a favorite for parents and children to slide together this slide offers gentle turns, soft drops and a 360 degree turn at the end. All four main slides (AKA: Red Light/Green Light slides) splash down into the same splash down pool above our waterfall. 

BEGINNER & INTERMEDIATE

Bug-A-Boo is one of our beginner slides. This slide is perfect for parents and toddlers. Slide together or allow the brave young ones to slide solo while you wait to catch them at the bottom. This short straight slide gets plenty of repeat action from adventurous toddlers and youth.

Squirt Gun is a few more steps up the hill and offers a quick drop and a sharp turn for those kids ready for a little speed. This slide is perfect for youngsters looking to spread their wings and prepare for the bigger slides. 

Whitewater and Run Amuck are intermediate slides perfect for parents and young kids who want to slide together, race a friend or just enjoy a short, fast slide with quick turns. With the right technique the small flume of these slides can help get guests up to speeds not possible on our bigger slides, but also keep younger sliders feeling safe as they exit into the intermediate splash down pool.
