The Salida play park is considered one of the best parks in the state. Most of the action on this stretch occurs in the town of Salida at the F Street Bridge. It's a great place to hook up with local paddlers or get in some quick park and play. A street light allows for night paddling.

In recent years this section of river has been significantly cleaned up and enhanced. It's the site of a slalom course, play features, and a great beginner training site. This is also the site of FIBArk, the nation's longest running whitewater festival.
