For more than a decade, paddlers in Raleigh, North Carolina have worked with City and County governments to bring their dream of a whitewater park to the Neuse River below the Falls Lake dam. With nearly $350,000 already allocated by local governments, the Falls Whitewater Park Committee is working to make this dream a reality.

The Falls Whitewater Park Committee is formed by a group of paddlers representing a broad spectrum of whitewater interests. We’re intermediate and advanced, playboaters and instructors, engineers, communicators, educators, and biologists: all with a common goal of providing Raleigh with this recreational resource.

The Committee is a group of citizen-paddlers and is not connected with the City of Raleigh. We hope as the project continues to grow that we can serve in an official advisory role to represent paddlesports enthusiasts.

The City of Raleigh also publishes a web page on this project that can be seen here. Our committee are members of the larger “Steering Committee” convened and managed by the City.
