The World's Longest Lazy River Is In Waco, Texas

DID YOU KNOW... BSR Cable Park in Waco, Texas has the world's longest lazy river, yes, the longest (man-made) lazy river on planet Earth is down the road a few hours in Waco. Definitely deserves to be a part of our 'Worth The Drive' series.

I know I'm a little behind on new watersports tech so it took me a few minutes to realize what the heck a "Cable Park" is, a Cable Park literally uses cables to pull you across the water, no boat necessary but still tons of fun.

No cables are needed for the World's longest lazy river though, just an innertube and maybe a beverage or two. Maybe that should be the World's longest "man-made" lazy river, cause I'm thinking the Brazos River has it beat.
