Beat the summer heat by hitting the rapids at RIVERSPORT

If you have ever wanted to go whitewater rafting, kayaking or tubing but thought you had to travel to Arizona, Colorado or Wyoming to do it, think again! Right here in Oklahoma City is one of the top whitewater rapids facilities in the nation, and you won’t have to spend a whole lot of cash or time to get there.

Discover your next hobby at the Oklahoma River

It’s a “get out on the water” theme for The Better Life OKC this week. With a location fairly equidistant from both the east and west coasts and one and a half states between us and the Gulf of Mexico, you may be surprised to know how much OKC residents appreciate their water-related activities.

Get coached up

No matter your age, there are few team experiences quite like rowing, dragon boating and whitewater rafting. Not only do you learn about teamwork, accomplishing goals and camaraderie, but there’s just something about the power of a paddle or oar in your hand to connect you with both the water and your teammates that’s hard to replicate in other sports or disciplines (not to mention it’s good to have something in hand with which to defend yourself from any angry errant geese that cross your path, but maybe that’s just us).
