Kellys Whitewater Park construction update

By Devon Barker

I was able to tour Kelly’s Whitewater Park on Monday,
February 8. It is amazing seeing the whole project being
constructed. The park is slated to be open this spring. We have four Home Town Throw
Downs scheduled. Check out http://www.worldkayak.com/
for all the dates and information. Everyone is welcome! May 1st is
our first event.

I was given a tour by Gary Lacey and Shane Sigel from REP and from Cameron
Cordova. Cameron is the project manager for both the visitor center and
the wwp. Enjoy the photo of my sixth grade students. Cameron gave
us a few t-shirts for my class. They all are excited because they hear me
talk about kayaking all the time. Now they have a KWP shirt with a
kayaker on it.

Cannot wait to paddle with all of you in Idaho! If you are going to Reno
this year for the Reno River Festival plan a stop in Idaho before or after your
trip!

The photos taken are with 200 cfs.. imagine
when it is in full swing… September,.. with warm water temperature.
