πŸ† Family Action Verdict

Best for families with kids aged 4 and up who meet height requirements-42" for the tidal river with a complimentary life jacket, 48" for the tower tube slides. The Rain Fortress has a lower 40" threshold for its tallest slides, making it accessible to younger kids.

🎟️Check the Canobie Lake Park website for the seasonal operating calendar before planning a visit

Overview

Castaway Island is the water park section of Canobie Lake Park in Salem, NH. Its centerpiece Tidal River is one of only a few tidal rivers built in the US-a zero-entry wave pool feeds into a current-driven river that pushes riders past themed scenery. Slide Island's 62-foot tower offers three tube slides: an open-top sun ride, a fully enclosed dark tunnel, and a variable-width whip slide.
