The boardwalk stretches for 1000 feet and is designed to give guests an up-close and personal view of the rapids. There are stairs and two areas where visitors can witness the rapids' full speed at the river's edge. It's important to note that the attraction is wheelchair accessible, making it a perfect family-friendly activity.
