Silver Mountain Waterpark

Northern Idaho is not necessarily known for their mind-blowing water park selection, but if you’re visiting the Pacific Northwest and need a slightly more interesting place to stay than the Super 8 Motel, you might think about checking into the Silver Mountain Resort and Waterpark in Kellogg, Idaho.   

The Flow Rider features surfs traveling up to 30 miles per hour climbing an incline of firm, blue foam.  The ride allows all eligible children and adults to ride the knee board without taking surfing lessons, as this is the first step to successfully riding the Flow Rider. 

Silver Mountain life guards offer $15.00 surfing lessons each morning for those who want to take it up a notch and graduate from the body board to the surf board.  Lessons are recommended, as injuries can occur if you don't have the proper training and don't know how to fall without harming your head. 

In addition to a children's area, Lazy River, and tube slides, the Silver Mountain Waterpark also features Moose Sluice, an all-family raft ride that winds through a dark tunnel before dumping you out in wild rapids. 

This is one ride you won't have to carry your tubes up three flights of stairs for.  The tubes are elevated with conveyor belts, so you can look forward to each ride without worrying about heaving a tube upstairs while holding onto children as well.
