US Whitewater Center Climbing Area

Highlight • Climb

When visiting the US National Whitewater Center, not only can you learn how to paddle and go on hikes and mountain bike rides, you can learn how to rock climb! In this particular spot you can climb attached to a rope on outdoor, freestanding pinnacles. This facility is most famous, however, for its deep water soloing. Deep water soloing is where you climb without a rope and fall into deep pools of water, breaking your fall. The roped options here at the climbing center are great way to try out climbing and might be a better option for beginners. For more information on climbing visit this page: center.whitewater.org/activity/climbing

The US National Whitewater Center (Dickson Center Building)

Highlight • Rest Area

The Dickson Center is the main guest services building in the US National Whitewater Center. There are bathrooms, locker and changing rooms, places to purchase food, and a gear shop. At the center you can purchase passes to do activities, including an all-access pass which allows you to participate in all of the activities offered, including white water rafting and kayaking, rock climbing, mountain biking, a high ropes course, and (depending on the season) ice skating (center.whitewater.org/plan-your-visit/activity-passes/). If you want to keep your day more low key, however, you can explore the amazing campus for free!
