Terminus Wake Park

We have skied and skated in parks all over Florida and Georgia. Terminus is my favorite park. I usually bring my 14-​year old son and 10-​year old daughter. It has a great 2.0 system for beginners, a clockwise intermediate lake, and a counterclockwise lake for advanced riders. Lots of challenging features if you choose to ride them.
The staff is super helpful teaching beginners to ride. They really go above and beyond. You can tell they like their job. The park has lots of areas to relax and food within walking distance. Beach volleyball courts are nearby. If kids get tired learning to wakeboard, they can check out a kneeboard.
Pros:
— Good place to learn to ride
— Large variety of features and options
— Close to Atlanta and highway
— Friendly staff
— Center islands to cut chop
Cons:
— Need a wetsuit or top in late fall or early spring
— Doesn’t stay open year-​round
It’s a great alternative to couch surfing after school. We really love riding here!

We had a great time at Terminus Wake Park this past Saturday! We stopped at Chick-​fil-​a next door for a quick lunch, then were ready for the park to open at noon.
Unfortunately, the park is still under construction, which lead to long lines since the beginner lake wasn’t open yet, but we still had a blast. They had a variety of rentals, so my husband was able to get a wake skate no problem.
The rest of us weren’t up for riding so we lounged on the side of the lake with all the ramps. They had tons of different outdoor ‘bean bag’ type furniture to sit and lay on. They also had a few sponsor tents that provided shade.
Aside from the facilities, we were also impressed by the staff. They were friendly throughout the check-​in and rental process, they also offered us hot dogs and cool towels for free as we laid out in the sun.
We have been to several cable parks before, but this one has been the best in my opinion and will only get better as they finish the beginner lake (which they said should be done at the end of May), make a parking lot, and build their office and concession stand building.
Our only complaints were that the lines got really long after about 1:00pm, so my husband had to wait about 20 minutes in line each time. This was due to more people showing up, but also because the operator was allowing each person to take as many laps as they wanted. Eventually, probably after some complaining, they started making people stop after they had taken several laps. Again, this issue shouldn’t be a problem once the other lake opens.
Our other complaint was that we couldn’t bring in any coolers. Would have been nice to spend the day there with some cold drinks or to be able to bring our own food in. I’m told this rule will also change once they have their facilities completed.
As a side note, they are also developing right around the park, which is likely to build up the tourism. Looked like they had a couple restaurants and a hotel about halfway completed. Hopefully it’s all finished before the Points Chase nationals in August!
Overall, great park! Can’t wait to visit once it’s all finished!

Don’t go on a weekend if it’s your first time. You will wait up to 30 min to get on a cable on course one and up to 15 min on course two. So after falling twice coming off the platform on course two I left.
By the time I would get back to the front of the line it’s like starting over as opposed to getting back on. If I go again it will be on a week day so I can get back up and feel that I will get the hang of it then.
It would be nice to have a land training session and have the option to come out of the water on course 2 for us beginners. I’m athletic so frustrated that I couldn’t enjoy course 2 just because I couldn’t launch off dock. The speed difference from course one and two feels twice as fast.
Clean facility though and overall a good experience at at the Groupon half off price. Don’t use address on Groupon but the directions off the Terminus website. Make left off hwy instead of right which is what GPS says and its right next to Loves gas station.

Awesome summer camp for two children ages 6 & 10. While some instructors were more instructional — overall the kids LOVED the experience!

What an awesome idea and an even better idea launching it in the new Lake Point sports arena location.
This place initially got my attention as I was driving by. When I saw what looked like cable lines and a few crane like structures I had to pull over to see what was going on.
I couldn’t believe my eyes! Terminus is a cable pull wake board park that is open daily (weather permitting), with equipment for rent and all the cool jumps and people that cheer you on even if you fall down? Where do I sign up?!
The prices are cheaper than I expected. 2 hours is only $ 35! They rent out wet suits, wake boards, helmets, life vests and even offer lessons.
My favorite part is the launch off area. I’ve never held on to the handle so hard in my life! You’re given a count down and are gently lifted off the platform as you skim on to the water like a bad ass. The cable pulls you around the circle of water and there are jumps you can attempt or just go along for the ride, like me.
I had a ridiculous smile the entire time I was out there, even the many (many!) times I either fell face first or lost my grip.
What an awesome idea and a great workout! If you think you’ve seen and tried everything, Terminus is waiting for you! But be careful, it’s addictive!
