Whitewater paddlers and friends from diverse groups across Iowa have organized into a strong non-profit group, the Iowa Whitewater Coalition, to advocate for paddlesport activities in Iowa. The primary focus of the group seeks to reconnect the waterways specifically for safe whitewater paddling, but to be inclusive of flatwater paddling and other recreational boating.
Our Mission
To promote, support and improve whitewater courses and water trails by reconnecting the rivers throughout Iowa.
Paddling in all forms has inherent risks, join us as we strive to make the water safer for everyone!
