Yesterday I did something pretty cool; I visited my first
natural waterslide right here in the Kootenays. It was a pretty big deal for
me, I am not a great swimmer and I don’t really enjoy anything about water. To
be honest with you I have an irrational fear of drowning, so I when I “swim” I tend

I had heard tales about how fun the natural waterslide was
at Deer Park
and I knew immediately that it was something I would have to try during my time
here in the Kootenays. But, as our pre-determined time came closer and closer I
started getting pretty nervous about it and even considered backing out of
going with my friends.
I am so happy I did go. I was a little scared, I must admit.
I watched everyone go down once before I braved the natural waterslide. But, on

you catch a little air and go flying into the water. To be honest with you the
water was not as cold as everyone was saying it was. Honestly, that maybe
because I am partially numb to cold water; when I was a kid I swam in the
If you are new to the Kootenays (like I am) or just visiting
you should check out the natural waterslide at Deer Park Syringa Park
