LOCAL SECRET (Shh!)
This is prime surf n’ turf territory! “What is a surf n’ turf?” you might ask… well, this sacred ritual is completed when an outdoor enthusiast (often with a high degree of Stoke) kayaks and bikes in the same day. And it doesn’t get better than a Green River Gorge surf n’ turf!
Green River Kayaking
The Green River is world-famous amongst the whitewater kayaking community. It is truly unique in that it has something for every type of kayaker (from class I – V+), flows through a pristine and protected canyon, runs 300+ days per year due to the Northbrook dam upstream, and in its tightest and steepest section flows through a rumbling granite amphitheater. Generally speaking, the river is divided into three sections. The Upper Green’s class III-IV whitewater is great for intermediate kayakers, beginners will enjoy the Class I-II shoals of the Lower Green, and the middle section (the Narrows) is a cornerstone for expert and elite kayakers.
