During this fun and free event, guests can learn how to river surf, see professional in-river kayak demonstrations, and get area fishing insights.

"Whether you're an outdoor enthusiast, avid angler, or just looking for a little adventure with the family, the new Gateway River Park has something for everyone," said Cedar Falls Mayor Danny Laudick. "This project was made possible by over a decade of community support, and it is our residents, partners, and dedicated staff who helped make it a reality. The park is a great start to bringing new life to our downtown riverfront, and we're looking forward to the quality of life and tourism opportunities that it will help bring in the future."
