Facilitating access to the active, outdoor lifestyle. The U.S. Long Lines Climbing is part of the Sioux City Municipal Auditorium in downtown Sioux City.

Whitewater is an outdoor lifestyle brand centered on the promotion, protection, and management of resources supporting access to recreational experiences. Whitewater’s mission is to facilitate access to this lifestyle by lowering barriers and inspiring people to engage. This mission is rooted in the belief that all human beings share a genetic code that compels us to play outside. National Whitewa

ter Center, Inc., a North Carolina 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, began promoting access to the outdoors through the Whitewater brand and the Whitewater Center facility beginning in 2001. Whitewater currently programs and operates the following locations:

-Whitewater Center, a 1,300-acre outdoor center on the Catawba River outside Charlotte, NC.

-Whitewater Pisgah, located in the Pisgah National Forest of the North Carolina mountains.

-Whitewater Santee, located in the Francis Marion National Forest region of South Carolina between the Cooper and Santee Rivers.

-Whitewater Grayson, located in southwest Virginia’s Grayson Highlands. This network of locations provides accessibility to a variety of the best recreational activities within the southeastern United States, including whitewater and flatwater paddling, climbing, running, cycling, hiking, fishing, and more. Whitewater offers accommodations, instruction, guiding services, equipment, and various hospitality services to support engagement in each region. Furthermore, Whitewater programs numerous festivals, events, and competitions on a recurring basis centered around these active pursuits. In addition to the locations above, Whitewater also operates Long Lines Climbing, an indoor climbing, fitness, and yoga facility located in Sioux City, IA. The original complex, designed in 1938, has undergone a series of renovations over the last 80 years and still serves as the recreational centerpiece of Sioux City. Long Lines features 53’ climbing routes along with multiple bouldering elements. Additional programming includes yoga, summer camps, group events, and food/beverage service to create an all-encompassing experience. Whitewater’s goal of facilitation also includes the delivery of inspirational content through films, online resources, and articles to extend engagement opportunities beyond physical locations. Included in these resources is the mapping website Gravelmap, an online resource featuring hundreds of thousands of miles of gravel routes across six continents. Gravelmap communicates access opportunities in the gravel cycling space at Whitewater locations and beyond. These various forms of content allow the public to identify with the outdoors and maintain a constant connection with the benefits of active pursuits, including in-person opportunities at Whitewater locations and beyond to bring people together outside.

Glue Up

Before the explosion of indoor climbing gyms in cities that are too distant from outdoor rock climbing destinations, residents became masters of climbing things that weren’t rocks. For Jeff Coke in 1980s Chapel Hill, the local climbing spot was a historic stone amphitheater. Instead of walls and towers, he saw traverses and climbing routes, each with its own name and history. In the search for something with an overhang, Jeff found a concrete pump tunnel, which was the perfect candidate for a Glue Up: an existing urban wall retrofitted with climbing holds via industrial-strength epoxy. Watch Glue Up at link.whitewater.org/GlueUp.

About

Since 2001, Whitewater has been creating opportunities to bring people together outdoors at the U.S. National Whitewater Center in Charlotte, North Carolina. The Whitewater Center is designed and operated as an outdoor center offering over 30 different recreational activities. Every element and activity is focused on supporting an all-encompassing experience around the outdoor lifestyle. Additionally, the Whitewater Center hosts international competitions in a variety of sports along with numerous festivals and events on a recurring basis.

The Whitewater Center is currently comprised of over 1,300 acres of protected land offering 50 miles of trail and access to the Catawba River and Long Creek. The Center’s goal is to continue to increase the size of these protected lands and promote even greater access through land acquisition and natural resource management. Whether you visit to ride 50 miles of single-track trail or simply enjoy eating a meal by the whitewater course, we are certain that you will meet new people and connect with old friends in a shared experience outside.
