Proposed Whitewater Courses In Iowa

Updated 3-14-2009

For anyone who's been to this page before, the urban whitewater initiative has changed. Charles City and Elkader are now the leading two communities most likely to develop a whitewater play park. Recreational Engineering & Planning has surveyed and completed the design for Charles City. Charles City has secured half of the funding needed to complete the project. They are also working through the permitting process at this time. Elkader is just starting to gather momentum and securing funding for design work.

Below are the Iowa communities with an interest in creating a whitewater park that I'm aware of. They're listed in the order of most likely to succeed in the near future.

I'm deleting any information, pictures, links, etc. pertaining to the bottom 3 cities listed above. New information for Charles City and Elkader will be posted as it presents itself.
