Kayak Parks, Surf Waves, and Park & Play Parks and Waves

Kayak park and play is a sport where kayakers park and play. Instead of paddling down a river through whitewater, kayakers will find waves that they can surf. These kayak surfing waves are often found in canals and rivers behind bridges. This section of Backcountry Secrets lists our kayak park and play waves. If you know of other waves to surf in a kayak, please share.
