BIGFORK WHITEWATER FESTIVAL celebrates its 40th anniversary. Par-
ticipants come from around the world to race on the Class IV section of
the Swan River, called the Wild Mile, which is located right below the
Bigfork Dam. Currently the festival is a part of the Western Whitewa-
ter Championship Series. Cash prizes.
For years, spectators have been watching the kayak or rafting races
from a large rock on the edge of the river called the Big Rock. It is
located right alongside the Big Drop, which is the main drop on the
course. Spectators can also watch from the riverside or in town on the
Bigfork Bridge. This year, other community events will include a Stand
Up Paddle Board demonstration, Leave No Trace Safety Presentation,
Merchandise raffl es and specials, promotions and music events put on
by local businesses.
