Kayak Park
Ogden's
Kayak Rodeo Park is a constructed kayak play area on the Weber
River in Ogden. It is a work in progress, but has quickly become
quite popular. Read

 Early efforts focused on cleaning up the river and placing
large boulders in strategic spots in the channel. The boulders
created drops and pools in the river to make it more challenging
for the kayakers. The rocks were also placed to help the fish
habitat, making deep pools that become resting-places for trout
and waterfalls that become "their cafeteria". Read

Normal water flows at the park are between 250-270 cfs. Concrete
pads on the bank make launching easy. Future plans call for
the addition of lights and a deck for spectator viewing. The
second phase of Ogden’s "Centennial Trail," currently
under construction, parallels the kayak park.
