Developed through the vision and investment of the Montgomery County Commission, the State of Alabama, the City of Montgomery, and community leaders, Montgomery Whitewater is a transformational economic development and quality-of-life asset designed to strengthen Montgomery and the River Region.

Located steps from downtown Montgomery, at the intersection of major regional transportation corridors, Montgomery Whitewater brings together outdoor recreation, tourism, education, community programming, workforce development, and national and international competition in one world-class destination.

It is a place for people to visit, but more importantly, it is an investment in making Montgomery a place where people want to live, work, build businesses, raise families, and stay.

Montgomery Whitewater is a 120-acre outdoor recreation and lifestyle destination, which offers mountain adventure in the heart of Montgomery, Alabama. Welcoming everyone from spectators and families, to recreational paddlers and international athletes alike, the Park truly has something for everyone.

At the center of the property is the world’s most elite pumped whitewater facility. The dual-channel course features advanced engineering systems that allow water flow to be modified to accommodate every skill level, from first-time rafters to Olympic athletes. Home of the 2024 U.S. Olympic Canoe Slalom Team Trials, Montgomery Whitewater provides the local community with a premier international destination, right in their own backyard.

Beyond the water, Montgomery Whitewater offers outdoor recreation, trails, dining, camps, educational programming, community events, group experiences, professional rescue training, and spaces designed to bring people together.
