The Indiana Division of the United States Canoe Association would like to thank Frank Tinsley, Hoosier Canoe Club and the ICRC for their continued support of the 45th Annual Hoosier Canoe and Kayak Regatta on the White River. These races were held on Saturday, July 12, 2008 on the White River in Noblesville, Indiana.

White River, Potter's Bridge Park Noblesville to 116th St. Indianapolis.  Weather forecasters and radar gave rainy prospects for the day in the early morning hours.  Early morning rain let up however, in time for fine paddling conditions at this year's event.  Paddlers who were undeterred were rewarded with excellent river conditions.  Water levels were well above average and the course was in excellent shape. Official water conditions at USGS 03349000 WHITE RIVER AT NOBLESVILLE, IN were 598cf/s and 4.66 feet.  Temperatures were warm, with the high around 86 in the afternoon.

The results of the races are as follows:
