Summer often goes by so fast, doesn’t it? Maybe it goes so quickly because we’re always so busy, vigilant in making every free moment count. But, we all need a day or two to just slow down the pace and to enjoy the season. Carve out a few hours, or even a day if you can, to leisurely meander down this 900-foot lazy river in Missouri. Then, lounge in the pool or catch a few rays poolside.

Dangle your feet in the crystal clear water of Coyote Creek, a 900-foot lazy river, when you visit Adventure Oasis Water Park in Independence.

Find the perfect chair on which to drop your beach towel, so you can kick back, relax, and soak up the golden sunshine when you’re not in the water.

Then, grab an inner tube; slip into the water; and meander along the lazy river.
