Cedar River Slalom Course at Landsburg

The rapid at Landsburg was engineered to facilitate salmon passage upstream where the pipeline crossing under the river. Local slalom boaters came out when the boulders were being placed to create a river environment that benefits salmon while also enhancing the whitewater slalom course that existed at this site. Paddlers typically park on the downstream river right side of the bridge at the trailhead for the Cedar River Trail. You can then walk your boats up to the park on river right and put in at the top of the slalom course. The League of Northwest Whitwater Racers typically organizes a slalom event here in the spring and fall. Local slalom racers maintain the course and go to this site to train.
