On Wednesday, the Run of River Whitewater Recreation Area in Skowhegan got a boost when the Somerset County Commissioners Tax Increment Financing Committee handed a check for $173,000 to Main Street Skowhegan, the fiscal sponsor of the project. When complete, Run of River will have the only adjustable wave in the Kennebec and the northeast, to allow for several different recreational activities, including kayaking and river surfing. Additionally, the left side of the river will be used as a fish passage.
