A Swell Time at WOKA Whitewater Park
The Waters of Oklahoma and Arkansas (WOKA) Whitewater Park, located in Watts, Oklahoma is where adventure and nature come together to create an unforgettable experience! The Grand River Dam Authority and the City of Siloam Springs, Arkansas, joined forces to create a national-caliber whitewater adventure park in the breathtaking Ozark Mountains. With philanthropic support from the Walton Family Foundation, this dream has become a reality!
While visiting WOKA, you can expect heart-pumping wave action for kayakers, surfers, and tubers of all skill levels. Visitors should be mindful that whitewater activities are not only exhilarating but physically demanding at times. Unlike theme park attractions, WOKA’s authentic river conditions mean adventures come with natural risks. While we provide beginner-friendly options, visitors should be prepared for a challenging adventure with plenty of opportunities to get wet, tired, and even a little scraped up. Prepare for an unforgettable experience at this state-of-the-art facility. WOKA Whitewater Park, located in Oklahoma near the Arkansas border, is a best-in-class whitewater park of its kind with a 1,200-foot long, 100-foot wide side channel off the Illinois River featuring eight drop features.
So, get ready to experience the thrill of a lifetime! Join us at WOKA Whitewater Park and make memories that will last a lifetime.
