Quassy is a lakeside amusement park with rides, games, and a waterpark called Splash Away Bay. Visitors can also swim in the lake, relax at a private cabana, or book group and birthday events. The park is one of few trolley parks still operating in the United States, and it is home to the Wooden Warrior roller coaster, which opened in 2011.
