Schlitterbahn is one of the U.S.'s best water parks, and it has several (not so) lazy rivers to choose from. Still relaxing and a great way to stay cool, but with a bit of current and kick to them. Love!

My family loves Pigeon Forge! This resort is minutes away from Dollywood and all the fun of the Gatlinburg area but feels like a secluded getaway. The lazy river is a relaxing highlight of the resort.
