You'll start at the top of the Eagle River Whitewater Park, splash down up to a mile through four hand-built play features (Far East Wave, Rock Garden, Surf Wave, Final Drop), and pick from four exit points: Eagle River Park, the Eagle Fairgrounds Lot, or the Hole in the Sky Frisbee Golf Course. The walk back is 7–20 minutes depending on where you exit. The Eagle River is a real river — cold and fast-moving, with water temps in the 60s. River shoes are required; flip-flops are not allowed.
