  • Everytime I visit the Whitewater Center I am struck by the magnitude and scope of the project. It's very similar to visiting some kind of theme park. I have been out to the Center a number of times since it opened in 2006, an handful of times as a musical performer and also to visit a college buddy of mine, who happens to be the marketing director. We were roommates when the Center opened, so I was getting all kinds of information first-hand from him. Soon afterwards, he took a group of us college friends down the river, with the express goal of flipping us into the river as often as possible. Needless to say, we all swam a couple of times, but it was great fun. The rapids, especially the competition channel used by the Olympic whitewater team, is pretty darn close to a real river experience. There are a multitude of activities available to visitors, from rafting/kayaking on the man-made river, to running and mountain biking trails, climbing wall, ropes course, flat water canoeing and kayaking on the Catawba River, and soon to arrive: a 400 ft. zip line. Or, if chilling is more your speed, the Eddy restaurant speads out on a patio overlooking the competition channel, where the sunsets can be breathtaking. Every Thursday, the Center is host to the Subaru River Jam, a concert series that runs from April to October. A platform stage on the banks of the competition channel was erected this year, hosting a number of varied local musical acts from rock n' roll to bluegrass and reggae. The Eddy serves up a good number of different brews (my favorite is Flying Dog's 'Doggystyle', which actually sponsored my band's first appearance at the Center back in 2007. That was a tough one to explain to Mom). The food is better than maybe you would expect from a place that specializes in outdoor activities. It now costs $5 to park, and depending on the activities you choose to participate in, you can wind up dropping a bit of dough during an outing here. It's worth it though, just for the experience of trying everything at least once. It's also easy to enjoy the atmosphere relatively free of expense, as the mountain bike trails are free (unless you require a rental), and its a great place to bring the fam, meet up with friends and get the dog some exercise. Definitely a one-of-a-kind destination for Charlotteans!
