About

Water park featuring kayaking, tubes, a riverside path, fishing, and ice cream.

The Marge Cline Whitewater Course is an outdoor, river-based facility on the Fox River, not a swimming pool. Therefore, there are no maintained or specific 'pool' temperatures available; the water temperature fluctuates naturally with the seasonal conditions of the river.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? This is a beautiful, free riverside park offering a variety of activities for all ages. It features a beginner-level Class I-II whitewater channel perfect for kayaking and tubing, with convenient put-in and easy exit points, and a concrete path for walking back upstream. Visitors can also enjoy walking trails, a bridge overlooking the rapids, fishing, and birdwatching. Amenities include public parking, a shelter picnic area, and benches. Many reviewers highlight it as a fun, convenient, and highly recommended spot, though life jackets are suggested for water activities.

A nice riverside park right on the outskirts of town. For kayakers, there is a put in spot right near the left channel, which looks to be a class I-II whitewater channel with safe and easy exit points at the end. There's a walking trail with a bridge that overlooks the rapids. There is plenty of public parking right alongside the river.

This is SO fun! 10/10 experience, we got $5 tubes from Walmart and connected 3 together! We went up and down the rapids probably 8 times! It’s so convenient bc theirs a concrete path at the end of the rapids so you walk back up that to the beginning! It was less than a 5 min walk back up! Would recommend to anyone! We did flip the tubes a few times, and water can get deep so next time I would def recommend life jackets !

Free. We kayaked down from Oswego and end here in Yorkville. Easy enough to carry our gear back up to start of course and run it again.

Nice place to take a walk or go fishing. Birdwatching is also fun to see the birds play in the water.
