Built into the side of a mountain this waterpark uses the natural topography of its surroundings for most of the attractions. From extreme drops to wild thrills, the park offers excitement for the entire family.
Mountain Creek Waterpark (originally and recently named Action Park) is well known for its "extreme" thrill rides, including the opportunity to jump off cliffs at Canyon Cliffs directly into the crystal-clear mountain spring 23-feet below. You'll also want to try Bombs Away where after a steep descent, you'll find yourself plummeting 18-feet into a spring fed quarry. H2-Oh-No, features a 99-foot near-vertical freefall descent.
When it's time to hang out, the High Tide Wave Pool is 450,000 gallons with man-made two-foot waves. For younger guests, Mountain Creek has plenty of activities and attractions, including body and tube slides just their size.
