Soaky Mountain Waterpark
Splash, Slide, and Soak Up the Smoky Mountain Fun
A Water-Filled Adventure for the Whole Family
Soaky Mountain Waterpark is one of the Smokies’ biggest and most exciting attractions, stretching across more than 50 acres of splash-filled fun. Since opening in 2020, it has become a go-to destination for families, friends, and travelers looking to beat the summer heat in style. The park’s mix of cutting-edge rides and wide-open play areas makes it both thrilling and welcoming.
For those seeking adrenaline, Soaky Mountain does not disappoint. Signature rides like the Avalaunch Watercoaster deliver high-speed twists and turns, while the massive Soaky Surge wave pool keeps the energy going with nonstop waves and action. Groups can race down raft slides, zip through winding chutes, or test their courage on towering body slides.
Younger visitors aren’t left out either — the park offers splash zones, mini slides, and interactive play areas designed just for kids. Add in a relaxing lazy river, shaded cabanas, and plenty of on-site dining options, and Soaky Mountain becomes more than a waterpark; it’s a full-day Smoky Mountain adventure that everyone can enjoy.
