One of Illinois’ Best Hidden Gem Attractions is in Rockford
Talk about flying under the radar, this park sounds incredibly awesome and it's something the fam should probably check out.
It's called West Rock Wake Park and in case you're confused as to what it is exactly, let GoRockford.com explain:
By removing the need for a boat, everyone can enjoy waterskiing and wakeboarding with Sesitec’s revolutionary cable system. Whether you're a first timer, an old school waterskier, or a seasoned pro, we have everything you need for a great day on the lake!
Reviews are overwhelmingly positive too. Karen Papa Kriesant says "Best wake park around!! SO worth the 1-hour drive to get here."
Dana Gulik called it "very affordable and fun" while Tom Kuhl remarked on West Rock Wake Park's "super chill vibe."
I wanted to see if there were any opposing views in the reviews from those who checked out West Rock and to my surprise there were absolutely none.
I mean, just about everywhere you go, there's someone who has a contrarian point of view on the business.
Even the price is reasonable, $25 during the week and $30 on the weekend while day passes for weekdays are $40 and weekends are $50. That's not a bad deal at all.
In case you're wondering West Rock Wake Park is located at Levings Lake in Rockford and if you want to check out the place be sure to do so before October because that's when it seems like the park will close for the season.
