In 1998, Lake Compounce entered the world of aquatics with the addition of Splash Harbor, now known as Crocodile Cove Water Park. The water park debuted with one water slide, a wave pool, and a selection of kids’ slides. A hit among guests, WhiteWater added a custom-themed sailboat AquaPlay 1050 to expand the park’s offerings for visitors of all ages.
In 2012, Lake Compounce moved a nearby road to expand the water park. More water slides were added over the next few years, with WhiteWater partnering with the park again in 2021 to elevate its aquatic thrills. The resulting attraction was the Venus Vortex, a six-story Manta water slide. The new addition takes up to four adventurous riders together through twists and turns, soaring down an enclosed slide in a circular raft, before plummeting into a U-shaped half funnel in the form of a hungry Venus flytrap.

"Our team was delighted to work with WhiteWater to add some new attractions to enhance the Crocodile Cove Water Park. Lake Compounce has had millions invested during recent years, and today it is more beautiful than ever. The park’s transformation has tastefully integrated its natural beauty and rich heritage with a blend of classical and contemporary rides, family-friendly events, and unique attractions."
