Rider Safety Information Calico River Rapids is a thrilling, outdoor white water river raft ride that will spin and splash passengers as they take a wet and wild trip down a raging California river. Along the way, you will careen past towering cliffs, brave fast-moving currents, and dodge soaring geysers.

Yes, Knott's Berry Farm features several ways to get wet, though its primary dedicated water attractions are seasonal. The most iconic year-round water ride is the Timber Mountain Log Ride, one of the oldest and most elaborate log flumes in the world, which takes guests through a detailed 19th-century lumber camp ending in a splashdown. For a more intense soaking, Calico River Rapids sends guests through white water in a circular raft. In 2026, if you are looking for a full day of water activities, Knott’s Soak City is the adjacent 15-acre waterpark (separate admission required) which is open from mid-May through Labor Day. Soak City boasts 23 slides, a massive wave pool, and a lazy river. While the main theme park's water rides are open most of the year, they may occasionally close for maintenance during the winter months, so it is always a good idea to check the Knott's mobile app for the "Scheduled Ride Closures" list on the morning of your visit.
