The US National Whitewater Center, which opened to the public in 2006, is a non-profit outdoor leisure and athletic training facility for whitewater rafting, kayaking, canoeing, rock climbing, mountain biking, hiking, and ice skating. The Center is situated on roughly 1,300 acres of land close to the Catawba River near Charlotte, North Carolina, with more than 45 miles of built route. The world's largest and most sophisticated recirculating artificial whitewater river is the centerpiece of the Center. Scott Shipley, a three-time Olympian, planned the river channels.

It's a series of 25 to 40-foot-high climbing walls that all hang over a 20-foot-deep pool to catch you if you fall. There are no ropes, harnesses, or helmets to be found. Just you, the wall, and the pool.
