Thanks to everyone who has posted comments here and who came out last night to support the project. There were over 100 people at the event which is way more than has attended in the past. I think that show of support made a difference to the parks and rec people. Watch the video at KOHD news.
Next steps are to get the... Parks and Rec board to vote this project into a higher priority project in November or December. You can continue to post comments here and we will get them to the parks and rec folks.Read More

Jesse Kinsman I have visited Reno several times just to play and Bend is hours closer to where I live. It would definitely be a regular destination for me if there was a whitewater park. There are so few whitewater parks throughout the nation right now, that just adding one will make Bend the envy of many recreation towns.

I would more frequently make the trip from PDX to Bend if there was a whitewater park in town. Not to make the most of the opportunity to add construction of whitewater features as part of this spillway upgrade project in a city with Bend's recreation destination status just seems crazy. It is minutes from the town c...enter and next to a park... I never visit the Bend outside of ski season, the PPP and the annual kayak slalom race. There's just hot weather and flatwater. For the pole peddle paddle, I show up for the race and then head north ASAP to fish and paddle.Read More
