There are 5 wicked whitewater structures, like Staircase Wave, built for kayaking, stand up paddle boarding and whitewater rafting. In addition, there are some climbing walls, disc golf course, pump track fo dirt bikes, off-leash dog park, and hiking/biking trails to enjoy riverside. Seasonal restrooms are available too.

It’s the perfect place to take your friends or family and just chill by the cool water and watch the action. This newer part of town on South Main Street features several great shops and restaurants to unwind after your day. The Buena Vista Historic District is located only a few minutes to the west.
