Abandoned Splash Canyon Waterpark

ABOUT SPLASH CANYON

For only 12 years, Splash Canyon Water Park and Campground occupied this large 47-acre property. Built and opened in 2002, the then "Loose Moose Magic Village Waterpark and Campground" guests could lounge by the tropical pool, Blue Water Bay, or splash in the waves at Splash Central tidal wave pool.

For a more thrilling experience, guests could climb up and slide down two water slides, Canyon Falls and White Water Run.

Kids could play at Little Moose Island, an interactive water playground with two small waterslides, geared toward younger park guests.

Sadly, Splash Canyon hit into financial problems from the start with the bank taking over from the original owner for the 2003 operating season.

The water park went through many different owners over the next ten years, finally shutting down without notice in 2012, not long after the beginning of the operating season.

Many regulars who had paid their seasonal campground fees found the gates locked and two weeks notice to remove their trailers and other property.

Quickly, a new owner bought the property, but after sitting vacant for two years, the park became a target for vandals and those looking for copper and other scrap metals to sell to scrap dealers. The over $500k worth of damage to the buildings and facility destroyed plans to re-open the park for the 2014 season.

On 7 May 2017, Splash Canyon was placed into receivership

A fire in 2016 caused major damage to the park and another fire on March 30th, 2019 destroyed the caretaker’s house at the main entrance.

The two waterslides and the kid’s waterslide, have since been demolished.
