where is there a flowboarding park or ride in new york?

Question by bigpolish20: where is there a flowboarding park or ride in new york?

Best answer:

Answer by Denise
The Great Escape Lodge and Indoor waterpark in Lake George, NY has a flowrider– is that what you mean? You can boogie board and / or surf on it.

You have to have a room at the lodge to use the waterpark but it’s well worth it!
