Get active at the river this spring

As winter temperatures begin to fade and sunshine-filled days of spring head our way, we’re all eager to get outside. One of the most exciting places to enjoy the outdoors in OKC is at RIVERSPORT Adventure Park.

RIVERSPORT Adventures offers outdoor urban activities for the whole family. Whitewater rafting and tubing, surfing, adventure courses, zip lines, high speed slides, extreme jumping, climbing walls, sailing, flatwater kayaking, stand up paddle boarding, a bike park with pump tracks and a mountain bike skills trail, indoor alpine skiing, a nature center and more are open daily in the summer and on weekends in the spring and fall. You’ll find festivals and race events throughout the year and summer camps for kids.

The Oklahoma River (which is a 7 mile stretch of the North Canadian River) wasn’t always a place filled with so much to enjoy, but the RIVERSPORT Foundation changed the game. Though their primary location is downtown in the Boathouse District, RIVERSPORT offers additional activity options on the west side of the city at Lake Overholser, and at Lake Hefner on the city’s north side. Each location provides unique experiences, so you’ll want to make time to visit them all.

With an annual membership, you can enjoy endless outdoor activities from March to October, plus all-year indoor fitness, unlimited Discover Experiences, Explore group excursions and more – all for as low as $25 per month.
