Looking for a place to keep cool this summer? Then take a trip to Boulder Beach Water Park at Silverwood Theme Park in northern Idaho. The only water park of its kind in the Northwest, Boulder Beach offers a smorgasbord of chills for the whole family. Try one of four monster waterslides or the gigantic wave pool. Still not completely satisfied? Then get your thrills on the high-speed body slides. Forget the mats and inner tubes, it’s just
you, the water, pitch-darkness and 62-foot vertical drops and, oh yeah, speeds up to 50 mph. If speed isn’t your thing, then be sure to try the lazy river (shown above), lounging pools and waterfalls. After you have cooled off, make sure to venture into the theme park where you will find the biggest, fastest roller coaster in the area, a playground for kids and a variety of other rides and attractions. Silverwood Theme Park and Boulder Beach Water Park are located at 27843 North Highway 95 in Athol, Idaho. Visit www.silverwoodthemepark.com or call 208-683-3400 for more information.
