BEST PLACE FOR OUTDOOR EXERCISE

U.S. National Whitewater Center

Staff Pick

A repeat winner. It’s hard to top this state-of-the-art adventure-sport facility, which is why it’s won this category three years running (or paddling, if you will). Choose your own adrenaline rush, from Class III/IV whitewater kayaking and rafting to bouldering and mountain biking. We applaud their efforts to conserve water, but will also admonish you to check their schedule ahead of time if you plan on rafting ... otherwise you’ll have to go with the flow. 5000 Whitewater Center Parkway 704-391-3900
