A lazy river is a water ride found in water parks, hotels, resorts, and recreation centers, which usually consists of a shallow (2.5–3.5-foot (0.76–1.07 m)) pool that flows similarly to a river.There is generally a slow current, usually just enough to allow guests to gently ride along lying on rafts. There may also be scenic elements added, such as small waterfalls on the edge of the river. Some connect or lead into swimming pools or wave pools, while others are self-contained courses that simply complete a circuit.
