Designed for You. Built to Last.

You see a day when your river is a popular destination for fishing, wading, paddling or surfing. You’d like your friends, family and neighbors to enjoy your river park throughout the year and at a wide a range of flows. In addition to improving recreation value, it’s time to update an existing diversion that’s used for municipal drinking water or for irrigation.

The McLaughlin Whitewater Design Group can untangle complicated sets of requirements and apply decades of experience with technical expertise and thoroughness. We can redesign your riverbed so that it looks natural even when the water is low and, once installed, works as promised for years to come. We’re eager to meet you, learn about your project, and have an opportunity to create a unique course for your community.

MWDG Acquired by Merrick & Company

McLaughlin Whitewater Design Group was recently acquired by Merrick & Company, a $111 million engineering, architecture, design-build, surveying, planning, and geospatial firm. The Whitewater Design group will continue to operate from its current locations in Denver and Aspen with the same design team serving our existing and future clients. Our whitewater design group resources will be further enhanced with this integration with Merrick but you’ll still be working with the team you know and trust to design your next whitewater project.
