Work begins to create whitewater play area in downtown Missoula – Brennan’s Wave

Brennan’s Wave Inc. http://missoulawhitewater.org/ and the Orchard Homes Ditch Co. began work Thursday on their project to remove a broken-down concrete diversion dam in the Clark Fork River and replace it with a natural rock structure that will create a mid-river whitewater play hole.

People who use the Ron MacDonald Riverfront Trail system on the south side of the Clark Fork River may face some detours during construction.

Crews moved equipment into the river, west of the Higgins Avenue Bridge, Thursday and will continue for several weeks – perhaps until the end of February, said Kris Cook, project manager for Envirocon, the company overseeing the work.
