Temperatures are gradually rising all over Idaho and there’s no better way to take refuge from the heat than by spending the day at this indoor water park. Silver Rapids is a beloved attraction hiding out in the historic town of Kellogg and it has something to offer for every member of the family, including an epic lazy river that you’re bound to love. Take a load off, grab a tube, and start relaxing when you spend the afternoon floating down this charming indoor river. Take a look:
Silver Rapids is a magical water park that can be found at Silver Mountain Resort in Kellogg. Since it's located indoors, the water park truly boasts the best of both worlds. Oh, and it's here that you'll find one of the most marvelous lazy rivers in the West.
Unlike most water parks, Silver Rapids is a year long attraction that you can enjoy no matter what season it is. The park itself maintains a tropical temperature of 84 degrees even on Idaho's hottest and coldest days. As you can imagine, this is the perfect temperature for floating!
The North Fork Lazy River is a 315-foot long paradise. Surrounding Minors Island, it slowly floats you around the entirety of the park at a leisurely and relaxing pace. This is a timeless activity that just never gets old.
Both young and old will enjoy hours of fun on the North Fork. Children must be accompanied by adults, but that's just fine for creating some unforgettable family memories.
Maybe you're the type of person that like a little more excitement than the lazy river can provide. Don't worry—Silver Rapids has got you covered. Their most notable attraction is the one-of-a-kind "FlowRider". This is a continuous wave that you can actually surf on (or body board) as it pumps out a whopping 60,000 gallons of water per minute at a speed of 35 miles per hour.
Kids will absolutely love trying their hand at completing the floating obstacle course called "The Crossing". Complete with floating lily pads and an overhead cargo net, this thing is just way too much fun.
There's no better place to experience swimming for the very first time than Silver Rapids. The Pollywog Pond is perfect for the youngsters since it contains a super shallow water pool and two kiddie slides. Young or old, this indoor waterpark has it all.
Spend hours on the lazy river, try surfing the wave, or simply sunbathe by your own personal cabana (Yes, you can actually get a tan under the park's clear ceiling). The possibilities are endless! Silver Rapids is primarily an amenity for Morning Star Lodge guests, but day passes can be purchased for groups. For more information, click here.
