Research Trip to Bend, Oregon and Boise, Idaho Whitewater Parks

Main Street Skowhegan Executive Director Kristina Cannon and Skowhegan Town Manager Christine Almand took a trip to whitewater parks in Bend, Oregon and Boise, Idaho, in July 2019 to learn more about in-river surf waves and the increasing popularity of river surfing. They were enthralled to see the number of surfers waiting in line to surf the wave outnumber the number of kayakers using the feature. As a result, Skowhegan is now planning for a surf wave at the second feature.  Check out the pics from their trip below!
