New Missoula whitewater park may be in the works

Just west of Jacob’s Island, the Kim Williams Trail passes a somber string of flowers strung over the dammed stream that separates the island from the riverbank. Now stiff and tan from months of weathering, the clusters cling to a suspended line some 10 feet above the water’s surface.

The flowers were placed over the river last October on the anniversary of the death of local high school student Max Lentz. Of late, a group of Missoulians, including several UM students and faculty members, have begun an effort to create a more fitting and permanent tribute to the avid kayaker and outdoorsman in the shape of a second whitewater park in downtown Missoula.
