Whitewater festival

The North Fork Championship is moving to a new home this year in Smiths Ferry. We extend a huge thank-you to Crouch for a decade of unforgettable debauchery and for hosting us all these years.

The festival hub will be based at Wellington Snow Park & Campground, conveniently located adjacent to the take-out of the Cabarton section of the North Fork and approximately two miles upstream from the Upper Five put-in.

Wellington Campground offers basic camping amenities and will have food trucks throughout the event. Just across the street, Cougar Mountain Lodge serves meals and offers a small selection of groceries.

For those seeking a camping experience away from the main festivities, a quiet camping option is available. Please email us for details.

Cell service is limited throughout the North Fork corridor, so arrive prepared with a plan and bring cash.
