Created by boaters for boaters in this boat-hugging hamlet along the Arkansas River the four-day Blue Paddle FIBArk Whitewater Festival epitomizes the celebration of moving water with all the elements ranging from carnage to carnival. The gnar-cissistic Pine Creek boater X gets the party rocking with what may be the most spectator-friendly (and competitor-thumping) river race ever created on the Upper Ark near Granite at 10 a.
