Quiet Waters Park

Broward County directs visitors to posted park hours rather than a dependable year-round online gate schedule. The park office is open daily from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and all county parks close Christmas Day. Splash Adventure, Woofing Waters, Ski Rixen, camping, boat rentals, and trails keep separate schedules, so verify the exact activity before leaving.

Use 401 South Powerline Road, Deerfield Beach, FL 33442. Enter through the staffed main gate, then follow internal signs to the exact destination because the water park, cable lake, dog park, campground, marina, trails, and fields are spread across a large regional park.

Choose the lot for your activity after entering: Splash Adventure, Ski Rixen, Woofing Waters, campground check-in, marina and fishing, mountain-bike trail access, or a reserved shelter. Do not assume the first open lot is close to a destination across the lakes.

Weekday gate entry is normally free. Broward County currently charges $3 per vehicle with eight or fewer occupants and $20 for vehicles with nine or more on weekends and County holidays. Splash Adventure, Woofing Waters, camping, Ski Rixen, rentals, trail use, and reservations have separate fees; selected 2026 dates waive only the gate fee.

Yes. Splash Adventure is a shallow interactive water playground with slides, tunnels, sprays, water curtains, and a tipping bucket. Its 2026 season runs daily through August 9, then weekends through September 27 plus Labor Day, with separate admission and lifeguards whenever it is open.

Yes. Quiet Waters offers reservable platform sites with a set-up tent or tepee, grill, fire ring, water, electricity, picnic table, and sports equipment. Reserve through the park, check in after 3:00 p.m., check out by 1:00 p.m., observe 11:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. quiet hours, and expect weather evacuations when ordered.

Woofing Waters is the park's approximately two-acre off-leash facility with separate large- and small-dog areas, water sprays, wash stations, drinking fountains, shade, restrooms, and a concession area. It is currently listed 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. daily but closes seasonally and requires a fee or membership; call before travel.

Quiet Waters has about 7.5 miles of volunteer-maintained mountain-bike trails. A daily or annual membership is required, and only Class I pedal-assist e-bikes are allowed. Check trail status after heavy rain because South Florida soils and features can close even when the broader park is open.

Broward County describes good bass fishing and broad shoreline access. Fishing is allowed along park shores except the Ski Rixen USA lake. Lakeview Marina offers boats and food, and electric trolling motors may be used on rented rowboats; check current Florida license rules and rental hours.

Yes. Quiet Waters is one of Broward County's free disc-golf locations. Bring your own discs and pick up the current course map or scorecard from the park office; tournaments, maintenance, weather, and nearby activities can affect play.

Yes. Broward County lists one ADA-accessible playground at Quiet Waters Park, in addition to the separately ticketed Splash Adventure water playground. Ask at the gate for the closest current lot and verify any maintenance closure before making the playground the only reason for travel.

Broward County lists canoe, kayak, and stand-up paddleboard rentals at Quiet Waters on weekends. Rental hours, equipment, age rules, and weather availability can change, so call the park before relying on a rental and bring fitted personal flotation equipment if instructed.

The county lists an ADA-accessible playground, and Splash Adventure has zero-depth entry plus communication boards. Individual campsites, docks, trails, transfers, and water activities differ; call 954-357-5100 before travel for a specific mobility, communication, sensory, or aquatic accommodation.

Heat, sun, lightning, heavy rain, wind, and saturated trails can affect different activities independently. Leave water, open fields, docks, and cable systems when thunder is heard; check water-park and trail status after storms, and follow park evacuation instructions when camping.

Pick one primary destination before entering, confirm its separate hours and fees, and navigate to the correct internal lot. Splash Adventure is seasonal, Woofing Waters can close seasonally, mountain-bike trails can close after rain, fishing is prohibited on the Ski Rixen lake, and rentals should never be assumed available without checking.

Use Broward County Transit's live trip planner for 401 South Powerline Road and verify the final walk plus last return trip. The park is large enough that transit arrival does not eliminate internal travel between facilities.
