Lake Winnie water park opens May 25

- From Lake Winnepesau­kah

Lake Winnepesau­kah in Rossville will open its Soak Ya! Water Park for the 2019 season on Saturday, May 25.

The Memorial Day weekend seasonal debut of the fiveacre water park is a welcome addition to families seeking to splash into refreshing summer excitement.

Soak Ya! continues to bring waves of fun to park guests, including the addition of the Winnie 500, which has guests sliding head-first into summer Soak Ya! splashes. Guests can race family and friends from 50 feet in the air, to a triumphant splash for the checkered flag. The thrilling, nearly 300-footlong addition is just part of popular Soak Ya! attraction­s such as the Zoom Flume & Waterworks.

“Lake Winnie is packed with exciting adventures for the whole family, but the water park tops them all,” Lake Winnie spokespers­on Talley Green said. “The collection of water attraction­s at Soak Ya! brings guests a whole new level of thrills, and in keeping with goodnature­d water park fun, a few spills, too.”

Amusement park guests can take the train to the “Soak Ya! Station” on the west side of the park, which serves as the entrance to the water park.

There they can float along

the Crazy River, with surprising delights of tiered waterfalls, spray-action features, and rolling rapids. Rushing water will send adventurer­s careening down numerous slides, including spiraling enclosed tube slides for multiple riders and both open and closed flume body slides for individual riders.
