Lifeguards cleared the area and after a brief search, found the girl's body floating near the wave-making machine, Garza said.

She was rushed to San Dimas Community Hospital where she was pronounced dead, an apparent drowning victim.

The park contains several water-related activities, including rafting and water slides, in addition to the wave pool.
