New Whitewater Rafting Center in Charlotte a Great Addition
I recently got the chance to go check out the new U.S National Whitewater Center just west of the Charlotte International Airport off of I-485. We had a great time and I highly suggest giving it a try if you are in the area and looking for something fun to do.
The Whitewater Center is the largest manmade Whitewater facility in the US. You can enter the park for free but the cost is $33 per person for about a 2 hour rafting session. This includes a safety instruction and each raft has an experienced guide to take you around the course. Most of the rapids are in the Class II-III range with a couple of Class IV's. I suggest making reservations if you plan on going rafting during the weekend.
There is also a 42 foot climbing wall if you're into that or you can take a walk or bike on the 11 miles of trails along the Catawba River. Check out the photos I took while we were there.
