Ride the rapids at the U.S. National Whitewater Center
The U.S. National Whitewater Center, one of the best things to do in Charlotte, with more than 30 distinct recreational activities spread across its 1,300+ acres. The center's greatest human-made whitewater river, which features Class II to Class IV rapids, is its main draw.
Explore the center's array of additional activities, such as its Deep Water Solo complex, when you're not riding the rapids. Overlooking a large pool of water, this structure is made up of five rock climbing walls that range in height from 20 to 45 feet. Because of this, you will climb without harnesses or ropes and fall into the pool as opposed to using conventional climbing equipment.
The activities offered here are rounded out by seasonal yoga, zip lines, a ropes course, and more than 50 miles of hiking, mountain biking, and trail running routes. Instead of trying your hand at every activity the center has to offer, take the advise of reviews and choose just one or two to enjoy. Plan your visit to coincide with one of the center's yearly events to witness the site come to life with performances, contests, and exhibitions.
