Description
This water park consists of a series of nine tame drops into pools, largely as a canoe bypass around the Argo dam. The city runs two liveries which rent one- and two-person kayaks ('sit-on-tops') and rafts. Separately, it is free to the general public to bring personally-owned inflatables (mostly inner-tubes and the like), canoes or kayaks to run the gentle rips to cool off in summer. There had also been plans for a more serious whitewater feature or two but this has been much more controversial.
