Water is the focus of this 430-acre park, which includes a freshwater
swimming beach, a lake for cable water-skiing, a variety of boats for rental,
and Splash Adventure, a high-tech, interactive children's water playground.
Fishing is permitted on the shores of the park's several lakes (licenses
required for ages 16 and up), except in the beach and skiing areas.
The park also has a campground that includes seven sites for camping with your own tent, and 16 Rent-A-Tent sites, which provide pre-setup tents with equipment. Rental picnic shelters include 160+ capacity, six 60+ capacity, and two 40+ capacity, all with grills, water, and tables. Additional tables and grills are available throughout the park. There's also a pavilion picnic area that can accommodate groups of up to 400; the site includes two large grills, tables, electricity, restrooms, a volleyball court, and a horseshoe pit. For recreation on dry land, Quiet Waters offers a large playground, an

well as snack bars.
