Park hosts grand reopening celebration Memorial Day weekend

Big Creek Water Park shuttered its campsite and more than 200-acre lake due to damage sustained by a tornado that hit Easter 2020. For Memorial Day weekend after more than a year being closed, the park hosted a grand reopening celebration, booking all 57 campsites and gathering families to enjoy the park’s renovations and amenities.
