At most water parks, you have to work for your fun: riding the slides involves climbing a bunch of stairs. Mountain Creek is not like most water parks...but you still have to work for your fun. Built into the side of a mountain, just getting through the park's main gate and over to the lockers involves trudging up a steep path. Most of the rides use the mountain's natural topography and don't rise above the ground or require climbing towers. And what wild rides! Even the park's "family" raft ride appears to be designed for a family of extreme thrill seekers.
