Based on the data collected during site visits and subsequent analysis, a study conducted by Riverwise Engineering concluded that the areas by Johnson Park near North First Street and East Norfolk Avenue boasts characteristics that have supported some of the more successful whitewater parks in the country. At its core, the North Fork River Restoration project includes the removal of a 6’ drop structure and a 6’ spillway at the bridge on First Street and the incorporation of eight, 18” drop points between the railroad bridge and the take-out point immediately south of the newly, redeveloped Norfolk Avenue bridge. The drop points will introduce white water characteristics to the river, provide beautification along the bank corridors, and enhance aquatic habitat including fish passages at each drop restoring the ability for fish to easily move upstream. Additionally, an abandoned railroad bridge will be moved downstream and incorporated into the trail system providing a pedestrian walkway just upstream of the First Street Bridge. The project will serve three main user-types: in-stream users, on-bank users, and anglers.
