Photos and Videos from the free Auburn River Festival at Auburn's Whitewater Park on the North Fork of the American River, Saturday June 9th
Fluffy clouds floated overhead as the Free Auburn River Festival at Auburn's Whitewater Park on the North Fork of the American River got underway on Saturday June 9th. The Festival featured three events including a downriver race, Olympic style slalom races and whitewater kayak rodeo competition that drew competitors from all over our region. Hundreds of spectators lounged on the riverside to view the competition. Music, food, community information booths and kids activities were available in a river village setting.
The Whitewater Park is a special feature of Placer County Water Agency's Pump Station that allows fish to migrate upstream to spawn. The park has Olympic-style rapids for recreational boaters to play and compete within the Auburn State Recreation Area boundaries. The event was organized by Auburn River Festival and co-sponsored by many including PARC, PCWA the City of Auburn and Sierra Outdoor Center.
Many thanks to all who made this Free River Festival a tantalizing first success.
