Northwest Whitewater Association

Welcome To The Northwest Whitewater Association!

You're hooked into the official web site 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. http://groups.yahoo.com/

Last year's top vote getters (L-R): Paul Delaney, 3rd; Kent Wales (1st) and Bart Rayniak (2nd).

July 11 is our 3rd Annual
Dutch Oven Cookoff

Ryan Schulte will once again be hosting the NWA's Dutch Over Cookoff on Saturday, July 11 so THERE WILL NOT BE A JULY 1 MEETING at Jack & Dans.

Get your best recipes together and we'll share them in a pot luck. Even if you don't have a handle on Dutch Oven cooking, come anyway.

Once again we'll vote on the best dishes of the night and award prizes. For a map to Ryan's place click here: E-Mail: oneguyry@yahoo.com
