New for 2011: Waterslide & Beach Area Expanded. The Chesnut Bay beach area offers everything you need for a great day on Weiss Lake. The beachfront has been expanded, providing plenty of space to stretch out on the sand and enjoy the beautiful views of Weiss Lake. A popular feature of the beach area includes a 120 foot water slide that will thrill children and adults.

Note: The water slide is open daily during peak High Season summer months. The water slide will be closed if the lake's water level falls below two feet of full pool. This is for the safety of our guests. While the water slide is a great amenity, it is a seasonal activity and please be aware that its operation and use is governed by many factors including, but not limited to, lake level, inclement weather, and attendant availability. There are posted restrictions and rules concerning who may or may not use the waterslide. A life jacket must be worn at all times. You may bring your own Coast Guard Approved life jacket or RENTAL life jackets are available on a first come first serve basis.Life jackets are required and can be rented on site from Weiss Watersports
