Montgomery Whitewater
A man-made whitewater sports center that opened in 2023, offering whitewater rafting, kayaking, and rock climbing. It is one of the largest artificial whitewater courses in the United States.
The whitewater park sits about 2 km west of downtown. Its artificial channel, roughly 1.6 km long, simulates Class III to IV rapids and suits everyone from beginners to experts. Activities include team whitewater rafting, kayaking, surfing, rock climbing, a ropes challenge, and mountain bike trails, along with a restaurant and viewing areas. The park has also hosted national whitewater team trials. Tickets are sold per activity, and booking ahead is recommended on weekends. Water activities require the helmets and life jackets provided.
