The Kansas Whitewater Association is the only organization in Kansas dedicated solely to whitewater and freestyle kayaking. We like to think of Kansas as the center of the whitewater universe - 10 hours in any direction to good whitewater. While this may be true, there are also many whitewater opportunities in our own backyard. The Kansas River offers year round paddling with two whitewater sections in western KC metro and in Lawrence. The Wakarusa wave in Lawrence offers a competition quality freestyle hole below Clinton Lake. The Trading Post down in South Eastern Kansas offers very friendly surfs and spin practice. Rocky Ford in Manhattan below Tuttle Lake offers a variety waves and holes to suit almost any surfing style, and there's great surfing to be had in Wichita on the Arkansas River outlet. More information can be found under "Local Whitewater" at our website.
