I had meant to get this site online sooner and get some data entry completed into it for other whitewater parks around the world.
I hope to create a page where data can be collected for helping build a larger whitewater community in Minneapolis. The creation of a whitewater park would be amazing, but even access to the river in a way that would safely create whitewater recreation is also a goal.

Comments: (you can write what ever you feel would be actions you would like to see. I have included the following as a easy copy paste)
Would like to see the river open to more public access, and recreation with a possible whitewater park. This section of river has a one of a kind location, and geology to have one of the worlds best whitewater parks based on natural flow.
No mater the options considered for the dams/locks whitewater recreation should play a large part in all of them.
See mnwwp.com (minnesotawhitewaterproject.com) for study’s on similar whitewater parks, and the benefits they bring to the community.
Thanks
