Welcome to the website of the Northwest Whitewater Association. We are a whitewater rafting club based in Spokane, Washington. Our goal is to promote whitewater boating, safety, and conservation. We've been around since 1989 helping unite river runners across the region.
Northwest Whitewater Association members are private recreational boaters that share a common interest in floating the great rivers of the Inland Pacific Northwest. JOIN US! Your 25 bucks annual dues gets you involved in floats and events on and for the local rivers, prizes and entertainment galore, and of course our entertaining and informative newsletter, The NWA News!
NWA meetings are generally held every 1st Wednesday of the month at the world famous Jack & Dan's Bar and Grille – voted one of America's Top-10 sports bars by Sports Illustrated. J & D's is at the corner of Hamlton and Sharp in Spokane.
Join our NWA Yahoo Users Group: This is a great way to keep in touch with our membership and other boaters. Learn about events and trips. Post your own trip info for members. To become a member send us an E-mail and we'll get you invited.
