East Race Waterway

St Joseph East Race Boat

 

The East Race Waterway rapids in downtown South Bend rival those of the Colorado River and can generate waves up to six feet or higher. It is approximately 2,000 feet long with a total fall of about 12 feet depending on the flow of the river.  Walkways along the course allow family and friends to cheer you on.

And best of all, you can opt for an invigorating experience on the spur of the moment without bringing any of your own equipment along.
