I want to see if anyone knows what the heck is going on here. I was doing a flight out in Palo Alto California recently, and during the run up this Cessna 182 pulled in next to us. It appears to have a canard foreplanes attached near the firewall of the airplane, and it appears to have a movable control surface on it as well. No this is not a Photoshopped image, this is an actual airplane that was sitting right next to us. I’m just curious if anyone here knows of any program using this aircraft and the purpose of the canard foreplanes. Thanks.

It's a King Katmai STOL mod for a Cessna 182. From https://www.avweb.com/news/features/King-Katmai-Mod-Safe-STOL-224865-1.html
The full King Katmai modification consists of the canard, 300-HP IO-550, choice of 82- or 86-inch, three-blade prop, speed mods/drag reduction fairings, wing extension, increased gross weight, heavy-duty landing gear, which includes Cleveland brakes, stainless steel leading edges on the gear legs, brake lines faired in behind the main gear legs and routed so they are unlikely to be snagged during rough field operations, heavy-duty Airglas nose strut and oversize tires.
It brings the stall speed down to 31 knots. 3100 lb gross weight takeoff distance of 290 feet from a hard surface runway.

Yeah come to think of it that’s what was written on the nose of the aircraft. I never realized there had STOL kits featuring canards. Thanks, Terry!

Could it be the Kenai, since it doesn't seem to have the large main gear tires?

Terry got it right! It’s a King Katmai STOL Kit. You can practically squeeze that thing into a parking lot!
