There used to be a hydroelectric dam upstream that could control releases, but it was destroyed in Hurricane Helene. The future of the dam is uncertain. I appreciated the warm welcome we received when we arrived. We had booked online and signed all of our waivers before we got there. We reserved(rented) water shoes for several folks, as they did not have appropriate footwear. Check in, shoe selection, and safety briefing went quickly , and we were in our tubes in no time. The river was mainly calm stretches punctuated by intermittent small rapid areas. Nothing felt daunting or too dangerous. It had the right level of excitement for the kids to handle themselves. The take out was well marked. It was easy to get our tubes up to the van for the short ride back. We took the first time slot of the day, and were amazed by the crowded parking lot when we returned around noon. We look forward to returning.

Green Rover Adventures is great! (Also, the water is so much warmer than at the Natahala) -- We are older but enjoyed hearing all the happy families in the parking lot as we left. This is an adventure for all ages, I believe.

When I hurt my foot and we couldn't hike for a while, we went in search of a place to kayak. Since…read morewe don't have our own, this is a bit of a challenge in Charlotte. It's especially challenging before Memorial Day. Luckily, we were able to find this place. I can't remember the exact price, but it wasn't cheap from what I remember and I think it was a 2 hour minimum. Pricing aside, we had a good time. The Catawba River isn't the most scenic place to kayak, but there are some nice branches off it it where you can spot lots of turtles. The employee that helped us was very friendly and gave us some pointers on the best areas to explore. If you want to kayak close to Charlotte, check them out!

Even if you're like me (read: you're not a good swimmer and you've never been kayaking), you'll have a great time and get the hang of things pretty quickly. Besides, there is no better way to escape the heat of Columbia in the summer than taking a ride down the Congaree River. It was a manageable waterway that's suitable for first-timers and enjoyable for all, and Kevin was incredibly attentive, patient, and encouraging throughout the ride down. Everything is provided for you -- kayaks, paddles, life vests, and even bottled water. Just remember to dress light (shorts and a tee) and bring sandals (preferably, because sneakers will take several days to dry out) that you don't mind getting wet. If you've never been kayaking -- definitely give this a try. It's $35 well spent!

Go book a tour with them right now, stop reading, no really stop reading and go book.

If you have kids, they'll probably think it's the greatest experience of their lives. In fact, this may be the only way they'll happily survive a 6 1/2-hour trip. The first hour and a half I kept telling myself, "Surely they're just warming up." Nope. Then I thought, "Okay, once we get on the hour-long bus ride to the river, they'll have to stop." They did not. After rafting I convinced myself, "Everyone's exhausted now. The ride back will finally be peaceful." Reader, it was not. Imagine being trapped on a bus with three unsupervised theater kids who just discovered improv, puns, and sound effects--and they've collectively decided silence is illegal. Every joke was delivered with the confidence of someone who truly believed they'd be headlining Madison Square Garden. I came for white water rafting. I accidentally bought front-row tickets to the longest children's variety show ever performed. Five stars for the rafting. Zero stars for my rapidly deteriorating sanity.
