Lazy River, Water park at Omni Homestead Resort, Bath County, US
The Lazy River is a water facility at Omni Homestead Resort featuring a 400-foot channel where guests float on tubes through spring-fed waters past a cascading waterfall. Two waterslides, a bubbling spring pool with island circulation, and a dedicated children's area with sand beach round out the attraction.
The water feature was added to Omni Homestead Resort in 2016 as part of the property's 250th anniversary expansion. This development combined the area's natural spring resources with contemporary recreation design.
The spring waters connect visitors to a centuries-old practice of water recreation that remains woven into the local identity of Bath County. This enduring tradition continues to draw people who value the area's natural thermal heritage.
The facility offers private cabanas, heated lounges, and clearly separated areas for different age groups, making it straightforward to navigate. Plan to arrive early on warm days since the space draws good crowds, and bring a change of clothes for after.
A bubbling spring pool positioned on an island at the center of the water feature drives circulation naturally without mechanical pumps. This design harnesses the area's geothermal power to keep water moving throughout the system.
