      <title>Whitewater Park being considered in Michigan</title>

      <description><![CDATA[I just ran across a news article that seems to indicate that there is a whitewater park being discussed in Ann Arbor MI, with the removal of an old dam.  Is there anyone in the AW network who would be skilled at approaching the decision makers to explain the benfits of such a project and offer advise?  The lower peninsula of MI is literally without ANY real whitewater. A park located in Ann Arbor could be a huge benefit to midwestern paddlers, as well as the local area.

Here's a link to the article:

      <title>Billings MT whitewater park feasibility project.</title>
      <link>http://www.americanwhitewater.org/content/Forum/read/send/23,7060,7060/#msg-7060</link>
      <author>riverrat406</author>
      <description><![CDATA[This seems to be in the very early phases however i think it will be good to get the info out. All that is being done at this time is fund raising to cover the cost of  a feasibility study. This study costs $10,000. All this study would do is determine the possibility and cost of putting a WW park in Billings MT.

If you want to donate checks should be made out to 
Brennan's Wave, C/O Triel Culver
2944 Rockrim Lane
Billings MT 59102

If you have any questions please post here and i will try to get more info. I have nothing to do with this project and only just found out about it.]]></description>

      <title>Lehigh River Whitewater Parks</title>
      <link>http://www.americanwhitewater.org/content/Forum/read/send/23,3996,3996/#msg-3996</link>
      <author>class5riverdog</author>
      <description><![CDATA[Over the years there have been a few groups of us trying to get a park started in the Lehigh valley, There have been plans made and sites found and a lot of talk but not even a rock moved, so being the best potential for a park in the future we found a site in Northampton, Pa. Where there is a 8 foot dam breeching the Lehigh river, owned by a cement co. &quot;La Farge&quot; , they (I been told) have a few years to do something with the dam. So it would be a perfect opportunity to put in a WW park there as there is parking and a riverside park there already + the need for a type of fish ladder there as it impedes upstream migration at that very point on the Lehigh all the way to Francis Walter Dam(approx, 60 mi). I see many types of WW parks sort of become a fish ladder once installed, there were 3 dams with fish ladders installed to the tune of millions of dollars bellow this dam  that could of been WW Parks but that was long ago. now we know these parks draw people and money to the area where there built year round. If anyone has any input on how we can sway the right people to get a project like this started please contact me @ riverdog5@verizon.net
