Hot of the Press!

Kings of the WaveOver the past several years, the Coosa River Whitewater Festival has been gaining recognition. We have been recently published in two magazines.

Outdoor Alabama Magazine, a publication of the Alabama Department of Resources, recently printed an article about our Whitewater Festival in its April 2012 issue.

We also received mention in AAA of Alabama’s Alabama Journey Magazine in the Out & About section of the May/June 2012 issue.

We are looking forward to having more coverage in the future, since the 2012 Whitewater Festival is expected to be our largest festival to date! Copies of both articles can be viewed in our press section.

NEW for 2012! Boater X

Posted on by

Attention recreational kayakers!

Have you been sitting on sidelines in years past wanting to compete in the Coosa River Whitewater Festival? Then this competition is for you!

We have had many suggestions from recreational sit-on-top kayakers that want more involvement in the whitewater festival and we have heard your voice. Since the majority of paddlers on the Coosa River enjoy recreational kayaking, we will be holding the 1st Annual Boater X.

The Boater X is an exclusive competition just for recreational sit-on-top kayakers! The race will take place around the islands at Moccasin Gap through a course that is suitable for all ages and levels of paddling.

Please note that the race course does not go through the large rapids at Moccasin Gap. We want to ensure that everyone has fun and avoids taking a swim!

Volunteers Needed!

We are looking for volunteers for this year’s whitewater festival! For volunteering you will receive a festival shirt. Depending on sponsors the volunteers may also be entered into a volunteer drawing for some prizes.

We need volunteers for the following:

  • Registration (signing people in and giving them their goodie bags)
  • Judging (our judging is on a 1-10 scale)

If you are interested in volunteering for this year’s festival, please email us at info@coosariverpaddlingclub.com
