What paddlers are saying
- CC J K· a year ago
The instructor was very good. He took his time with everyone, explained things very well, nice course. The only reason not to give 5 stars is the way they time things out. You don't actually get an hour of board time. They look at the clock. If there's a big group ahead of you, everyone gets less time on the water. They really need to have 1-2 more cables running to make sure you actually get a true hour of board time.

Had a great time. Staff was very friendly and helpful. We stayed all day. Rented paddle boards, played on the aqua park, and rode wakeboards on the cable system. What an awesome place.

Oak mountain has 2 flip side locations: one features pedal boats, kayaks, canoes, and wake boards. There’s a nearby beach and dam. It’s an open very large space to boat around in. The second location features kayaks, canoes, and wakeboards. It also has the ‘adventure park’ with wakeboarding and inflatables. Boats are in great shape. Fat friendly! Lots of options!
