About Us

Steve and Shelley Turk, and the team at Turk Hospitality Group, own and operate the Rocking Horse Ranch Resort, in Highland, New York, and SplashDown Beach Water Park in Fishkill, New York.  Rocking Horse Ranch Resort, an all-inclusive family destination, recently celebrated its 60th anniversary Memorial Day Weekend 2018. Considered America’s Favorite Family Resort, the Ranch has recently been ranked number 1 among the top hotels for families in the United States and number 9 in the world by TripAdvisor.

The Turks purchased SplashDown Park in 2004 and renamed it SplashDown Beach. Upon entering their 14th season of operation at SDB, Steve and Shelley have invested over $20 million in new rides, attractions, and facilities. 2018 introduces the largest of new attractions yet: the Megalodon, a thrilling 6 story, 4 person raft ride that brings the latest in waterpark ride technology to Fishkill. The “MEG” is the only one of its kind in the Northeast!  Coming in Summer 2023, SplashDown Beach will be home to NY’s largest water playground.

In addition to over 40 years of industry experience, Steve has cultivated a strong management team at Turk Hospitality that is committed to exceeding guest expectations and measuring success one family at a time. Whether it’s adding new features to Rocking Horse or constructing new rides at SplashDown Beach, Turk Hospitality Group promises to bring the very best in destination tourism and entertainment to the Hudson River Valley.
