Contractor Ted Seipel Construction’s Colorado Riverworks is on schedule to complete the $375,000 whitewater park by the end of March. The park, designed and engineered by Jason Carey of RiverRestoration.org, will provide exciting whitewater play holes for kayakers interested in executing spectacular stunts and surfing maneuvers…

A grand opening is planned when the park is complete, plus it will get a proper indoctrination during the June 25-26 Whitewater Festival, which will feature some surfing competitions for kayakers. The park will provide a whitewater thrill during high water summer months, but, in addition, the movement of water from upstream reservoirs to Pueblo Reservoir during the winter months will bring, “some very surfable waves all winter long,” Colon said.

The Bardstown Boaters have been blogging about the Bardstown Whitewater Park ever since we began advocating construction of the river enhancements. With the recent reports from Riverrestoration.org we will be bringing you even more information about what is happening behind the scenes in getting the Bardstown park created and perhaps this information might also serve you in getting your local park built.

In the original Bardstown Whitewater Park report we addressed the various questions about the what the whitewater enhancements at the rubble dam of the Beech Fork would be like. Now that we have a professional opinion from RiverRestoration.org we will revisit these questions with more in-depth answers.
