United States North Carolina Charlotte

U.S. National Whitewater Center

A vast outdoor recreation facility offering whitewater rafting, kayaking, zip-lining, rock climbing, and trails for biking and running.

Tips from the community

You can kayak, whitewater raft, zip line, hike, bike, paddleboard, bungee jump, rock climb over the water, and so much more! I definitely recommend getting there early on a hot day, the lines to check in can get pretty long. If you do whitewater raft, choose to do the "adventure" option!

Bring your pup, grab a beer, and watch people wipe out whitewater rafting!

  • Dog-friendly places in Charlotte

    katie (Katie Camille)
    Charlotte has to be one of the most dog friendly places I've seen/lived in! With that comes lots of dog friendly places to bring your pup, and great dog watching opportunities. In general, most breweries in Charlotte are dog friendly, but call ahead to double check before you go! In case you didn't know, August 26th is Dog Appreciation Day so head to your favorite spot with your pup and show them some extra love.
