Also known as WOKA Whitewater Park, this stretch of the Illinois River opened in 2023 as part of a regional whitewater push backed by the Walton Family Foundation. It's built with kayaking, river surfing, tubing, and paddleboarding all in mind, with a string of engineered drops and waves rather than just one feature. Flows run best in spring and summer when the Illinois is up, drawing everyone from beginners learning to roll to more experienced boaters working the better features. It's one of the clearer signs of Northwest Arkansas's bigger investment in river recreation over the last few years.
