Here's an overhead view of the park in its heyday:
Now, let's take a look at where those attractions are today:
For those of you viewing this on smaller screens, let's take a closer-up look at two of the main areas.
Here's a partial shot of that area when the park was still operating:
The Whoop N Holler Hollow and White Water Rapids slides are now very overgrown. But the main lake with its bridges and swings is surprisingly intact.
Slippery Slide Falls has largely disappeared into the undergrowth. But the Upstream Plunge pool is still very recognisable.

we went to River Country when I was about 6. I wasn't as strong of a swimmer as my brother, but my parents still took us both down Whoop N Holler... My first big water slide. I can still picture the park in my mnd. Sad that it was left to "die". Too bad Disney didn't incorporate it into its plans....
We had so much fun at river country when I was growing up. It truly is a shame that Disney did not keep it up... They could use another waterpark. We go every year for a week & we try to breakup our days by going to a park one day & then water park the next. Wish they would rethink their options to restore!
Our family enjoyed going to River Country every year. It is such a shame that it closed down and is left to ruin. Only wish our grandkids could be enjoying this as much as our kids did!
Oh, please bring it back for all the older guys who went there and thought it was the greatest place alive! It would be a be hit there now!!!
We went there years ago and left shortly after arriving after reading the sign on the beach that read that they recommend that you wear nose and ear plugs while swimming in FL water !
