This natural lake is a time-honored, hidden favorite watering hole of the locals and has a white sand bottom and crystal-clear water making it possible to see the bottom in places. But it's not your ordinary water park.

Richardson's isn't a typical water park. The slides are a combination of water slides... and an epic playground slide (sans water to help your ride) that makes you feel like you've discovered a secret playground set in the water.
