Casper Whitewater Park strings four man-made features along the North Platte River just upstream of downtown Casper, Wyoming. The first wave turns on above roughly 1,700 cfs, while the second is a punchier pocket hole with sketchy eddy access at the same level, and a long gradual drop below feeds a wave train built for downriver tricks. Late spring and summer releases bring the best conditions, with locals often showing up after work around 5:30 to beat the heat. The park hosts a rodeo most years around late June or July, drawing a solid crowd of local boaters.
