The whitewater park is ready for the first release this weekend are you?

Water is on 10-4pm

Fill out your waivers online ahead of time to avoid annoying delays on Saturday. We know the ACA situation isn't ideal, but It's the best we've got right now. Everything you need is here:

We had a very successful cleanup weekend and have been making some updates to the course. Say hello to the updated decks! We're very excited for a safer starting platform for open canoe nationals, and a refurbished platform for anyone launching above the dam.

Cleanup weekend, May 9-10th: The platforms are old, eddies have brush, and stones are washed out at the course. Luckily,...

Cleanup weekend, May 9-10th: The platforms are old, eddies have brush, and stones are washed out at the course. Luckily, this weekend is the cleanup weekend! This is the first chance to meet up at the course and help out. Bring some brushing tools, maybe a shovel, and a willingness to get dirty. Camping is permitted, and water will be on in the afternoon to help flush the course. See you this weekend!!

Here’s a scenario: you find yourself trying to enjoy the high water and realize you’re not quite ready to handle situations when things go south, or your safety knowledge limits you, and you decide not to go paddling. I have good news! You can sign up for the swift water safety course offered right at Wausau Whitewater. Signup link below!

Water in the Midwest is almost as high as the stoke from spring kayakers. Although there aren’t a lot of new updates for us that’s not a bad thing. Be sure to check out the website to get registered for any of our upcoming events. Notably registration is open for open canoe nationals, and the Jackson freestyle clinic. Let’s go paddle!

We had a great canoecopia. We were happy to see everyone we could Friday and Saturday. Unfortunately some of us are buried under 3’ of snow today and had to miss out on the end of the show. Thank you Rutabaga Paddlesports and b.o.w._bodyofwater for another great canoecopia

Spring is here and many exciting things are coming. If you want to talk in person see us at canoecopia this weekend! A number of board members and volunteers will be around.

Waivers are live, Jackson clinic signup is live, open canoe slalom nationals is live, and lesson signups are live. The only downside is the ice on the course and the snow in the forecast.

I know that waivers can be a challenge for some people, so we made a page dedicated to the joys of signing waivers. Main takeaways is everyone needs to make an ACA account. Once an account is created users have the option to get an annual membership, or pay $10 on site for each event they participate in. Here’s the link to our page:
