USNWC

Dreaming of whitewater rafting, rock climbing or other adventure sport but don’t know where to start?  Located in Charlotte, North Carolina, the USNWC has created an environment where you can safely learn and practice skills in outdoor recreation before actually going into the wilds.  

Dedicated to promoting an outdoor lifestyle, with 1,300 acres, the US National Whitewater Center has artistically designed the land to meet the needs of a range of enthusiasts.  Along with whitewater rafting, guests may enjoy kayaking, flatwater kayaking, stand-up paddle boarding, rock climbing, ropes courses, canopy tours, team building activities and mountain biking.  Mountain bikers have an option of 40+ wooded trails to explore, while other sports are contained to a carefully maintained and organized setting where safety is always a priority.

The USNWC not only offers a wide range of outdoor sports, but also provides opportunities to learn and practice skills.  Along with techniques, leadership and communication skills are also encouraged and implemented with specialized adventure instruction for all ages and levels.  The Whitewater Race Series held at the USNWC also encourages competition for many sports from mountain biking, kayaking to triathlons.

A family-oriented environment wouldn’t be complete without relaxation and play.  Outdoor festivals are held throughout the year with music, food and vendors. Also the Whitewater Race Series holds competition for many sports from mountain biking, kayaking to triathlons.

A great place to learn a new skill or to spend the day, the USNWC is a terrific destination in Charlotte, North Carolina.  As they say on their site, “ the USNWC empowers the guests to play, relax and learn outside.” Highly recommended, this is a must-do experience.  Visit HERE for some inside details of one of the events held last season.
