The Montgomery Whitewater center opened over the weekend. “It’s more than what I expected it to be,” Linda Holmes, of Montgomery, said. “And it’s beautiful. I’m proud of the city for doing this.' Photos, details, and more about the facility:
The rafting guides already have nicknames for the rapids at Montgomery Whitewater park, which is holding its grand opening this weekend.
“All three of those sections are pretty similar in scale,” Lopez said. “None of these names are 100 percent definite if someone comes up with a better name. But if you talk to the raft guides, that’s what they would call it.” The grand opening continues through Sunday. There is plenty to enjoy in the 120-acre park in addition to the whitewater activities. There’s a restaurant, an outdoor bar, walkways, yoga, and vendors. There will be live music Friday night.
“This is a great day for Montgomery, it’s a great day for the River Region and it’s a great day for Alabama,” Reed said.Linda Holmes of Montgomery saw it for the first time Friday. “I won’t because I can’t swim,” she said. “If I could swim I’d be rafting away. I really would. I’m just excited that our city has decided to do this.”
“And having that combination, that business model, will definitely draw people. It might take a minute for them to find it. But once they find it, I think they’ll fall in love with it.”
