Fodor's Expert Review Castaway Creek

This circular, 15-foot-wide, 3-foot-deep, 2,000-foot-long waterway is supremely relaxing and satisfyingly soothing. Just snag an inner tube and float placidly along a clear creek that winds through the park and around the Surf Pool and beaches. You'll pass through a rain forest that showers you with spray, slide through caves and grottoes, float by overhanging trees and flowering bushes, and get drenched from the "broken pipes" at the Water Works. The current flows a gentle 2½ feet per second. Along the way are five landing areas where you can hop in and out. For people with disabilities: Guests using wheelchairs must transfer to an inner tube.  A full circuit takes about 20 minutes, longer if you stop at one of the five lifeguard-manned launches.
