Long car trip to the mountains, overnight lodging arrangements, uncomfortable bus ride on winding road in the middle of nowhere, tons of gear to load, and "Dueling Banjos" playing in the background... or maybe NOT!
The thrill of whitewater rafting is only a short drive from Charlotte, NC...
Home of the largest man-made re-circulating river in the world - the USNWC provides safe, exciting guided rafting adventures through non-stop class II-IV whitewater rapids for rafters age 8 and above, and at all experience and skill levels.
The USNWC rafting experience is similar to skiing - your group will paddle down one whitewater channel and then ride a lift back to the top for your next run. All raft trips include a professional guide, a short orientation program on the fundamentals of rafting and essential safety information, and all the equipment you need.
Unsure of which trip to sign up for? Check out our three offerings below:
| Family Rafting | Adventure Rafting | Rodeo Rafting |
![]() | ![]() | ![]() |
| (ages 8 and up) | (ages 11 and up) | (ages 16 and up) - requires upgrade |
Whatever rafting adventure you choose, just plan on getting wet and having a great time!
