About Us

Recreation

We realize that increasing the use of our river will increase the number of people interested in its care and stewardship. With this in mind, we promote the use of our river in many ways.

RiverFest

RiverFest is our annual event which brings together exhibitors, paddlers, students and the general public who learn about the river and spend the day enjoying it.
