Set at the 453-suite Camelback Lodge, this indoor waterpark is meant to help draw on the approximately 22 million travelers who visit the Pocono Mountains each year, mostly from New York, New Jersey and Philadelphia. The site augments an array of outdoor opportunities, such as ski trails, ziplining, tree-top obstacle courses and an existing outdoor waterpark, as well as the largest snow-tubing park in the country.

The facility is accessible to existing lifts to provide ski-in/ski-out access.

The 125,000-square-foot, multilevel, enclosed structure presents a year-round opportunity for water play on the 13 water slides, seven pools, wave pool, Flowrider, lazy river, lagoons and aqua-play structures. The park also features Storm Chase, North America’s longest uphill water coaster, at 756 feet in length.
