The FunDunker at Lake Lanier Water Park
Spending an entire day at Lake Lanier’s Chattahoochee Rapids Beach & WaterPark is a great way to cool off and get back to nature. Unlike White Water (the concrete jungle) lush landscaping surrounds the water park at Lake Lanier. The slides and attractions are tucked away to create a beautiful, natural setting, so you feel like you’re spending the day at the lake, and not at yet another water park.
With more than a dozen exciting rides and attractions, Chattahoochee Rapids Beach & WaterPark at Lake Lanier offers summer fun for the entire family. The Beach & WaterPark is a multi attraction interactive family environment that offers endless fun while getting drenched. Popular attractions include Wild Waves, Georgia’s largest wave pool, ten different water slides, a super FunDunker. a Kiddie Lagoon and Wiggle Waves, perfect for pint-sized guests. Plus, there’s a ½-mile stretch of white sandy beach to relax in the sun and catch a few rays.
