This website is made available through American Whitewater membership!

There’s simply no better, more popular resource than the American Whitewater website for paddling and river stewardship information. This value is reflected in the incredible amount of usage our site sees with over 800,000 page views a month serving thousands and thousands of river enthusiasts every day. What’s more, all this content is completely free!

Paddlers understand that you cannot love what you don’t know. It’s our love of whitewater that makes us fierce defenders of rivers and their flows. This intimate connection to flowing water has made American Whitewater a force in river stewardship for 60 years. It’s your membership support that allows American Whitewater’s staff to work on important stewardship projects across the country and provide the information in this website.

So, whether you're a first time visitor or a long term user, we ask for your membership support.
