A cable park consists of a lake that has an overhead cable system that pulls you around the lake. I believe that normally there are 4-5 corners. There are no wakes so most people hit sliders and kickers. You can also cut against the pull of the cable and do "Air" style tricks. There are two parks in Florida, Rixen and OWC, and TSR in texas.

Border4life,
I hear there is a cable park opening up in Kansas City soon. I forget when. Where do you board in Iowa?

Check out www.orlandowatersports.com and check the live cam. That will give you a good idea of what a cable park is. Also check out this video
