In 1974, a group of individuals realized the potential for a race course on the east channel of the Wisconsin River in downtown Wausau. During the first thirteen years, the river channel itself was the primary focus of the work in bringing races to Wausau. The course has been developed, modified, and improved resulting in what is now "one of the nations best slalom courses".
The Wausau course hosts competitors from around the world. The diverse skill levels of Olympic medalists, United States Kayak & Canoe Team members, up and coming Junior team athletes, and local paddlers can be equally challenged by our course.
With whitewater slalom again in the Olympics (2004, Athens), our future is bright. We continue to bring new events to the Wausau area, enhance the river front, and be a strong presence in the sport of Kayak & Canoe, not only in Wisconsin but the nation.
We Welcome the World to Wausau and also take Wausau to the World in a way no other area organization can.
