OKC White Water Park

September 27 meeting with River Trust

As we push forward with a whitewater park in OKC this is the latest news. We met today with the Directors of Water Resources (the people who control Lake Overholser), and Public Works (the people that control the downtown damns). As we had thought, there is no chance for scheduled release on the N. Canadian (the Okayaklahoma river!) out of Overholser for recreation purposes. They just don’t have enough water, and there is no power generation. So any features that will be built are either going to depend on normal flows as they are now. There was no stated opposition to having REP do a study, so we will plan on presenting our proposal before the river trust September 27.

HI Patrick,
We do have a "club", feel free to join us http://www.okcoutdoornetwork.org/wildlife-expo_2005.htm

Most recently we provide the kayaks at the Wildlife Expo, were I guess 1500 people kayaked in the boats that we provided.

Do you kayak? If you think nobody would use a whitewater park in OKC I assume you don't.

Tell me how to get in touch with you and I'll show you the people who have contributed money, and who paddle.

Yes I do want your money, yes I do enjoy kayaking, and I want the people of OKC to enjoy it also.

Email me directly nhmatt(at)yahoo
