Float Down the World’s Longest Lazy River in Waco, Texas

One of the best ways to beat the Texas summer heat is by lounging in a tube along a lazy river. And you can do exactly that at Waco Surf. This park is actually a water sports facility that is also home to the longest lazy river in the world. This BYOB lazy river will be a hot spot to cool off during the summer months.

Open from April to October, the lazy river is perfect for an all-day float. Rent inner tubes for free for both you and your cooler, since you can bring along both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks on this one-mile float. The inner tubes are even equipped with a drink holder, so you don’t even have to sweat the small stuff on this mild ride.

This lazy river experience is perfect for the whole family too, since the water is only about 3 feet deep. A complete lap of this lazy river takes about 45 minutes. To avoid the crowds, head to Waco Surf during the weekdays.
