Summer Fun

Make no mistake, floating the river sounds like a good ol’ fashioned relaxing time similar to man-made lazy river rides at water parks and it definitely can be, but I’m here to tell you (from experience) that the river can be ruthless and you want to make sure you’re fully prepared for it’s “tip you over and spit out all of your belongings” wrath.

Like so many Central New Yorkers, you're probably planning on making the drive from the Utica or Rome area to Old Forge and Water Safari. Things are going to be a little different this year, starting with making reservations.

If you don't have the time or patience to build your own floating picnic table, you are in luck! You can now buy one but it's pretty pricey.

A brand new indoor water park will be opening in March 2019 in New York State. It will be the largest of it's kind in the state. See what to expect and the fun to be had here and exactly when YOU can check it out.
