Fantasy Lake Adventure Park

Fantasy Lake Adventure Park sits on Quarry Road with a Wake Forest mailing address, between Wake Forest and Rolesville. The 100-acre property surrounds a 65-acre lake in a former quarry, and it ran as a scuba park before reopening as a family water attraction in 2023.

In summer the lake fills with an inflatable water park, kayaks and paddleboards, and small children have their own splash pad. Certified divers come for what lies below the surface, including a sunken aircraft, a bus, several boats and an old rock crusher.
