My daughter and I are constantly looking for daytrip adventures (gas prices and all) . Today we went to the US National Whitewater Center outside of Charlotte . This place has so much to offer . Whitewater rafting/kayaking (Class III & IV rapids), river canoing , climbing , repelling , ropes courses , challange courses , mt biking trails , geocaching . We had a blast it was our first whitewater rafting . Here is a blurb from their site
Located on the banks of the Catawba River in Charlotte, N.C., the U.S. National Whitewater Center is the world's largest artificial whitewater river and an official U.S. Olympic Training Site . The 307-acre public adventure-sport facility Opened in August 2006 at a cost of $38 million .
