Why should we have all the fun?  There are three new proposed  whitewater centers and they are in our general area of the country.

The United States  Whitewater center is opening three new locations;  one will be in the western part of North Carolina (where yours truly went to college  by the way), Whitewater Santee will be located in the low country of South Carolina and Whitewater Grayson will be located in beautiful southwest Virginia.

Funny story about a kayak flip I had once at the Whitewater Center when my son Will was about twelve years old.  So, I popped out of the kayak . This is no problem, they tell you what to do if this happens but I kind of panicked.  I was asking for help from the guide rather emphatically and my son said from the kayak, "Mom, just stand up, it's only up to your waist".  See that is the wonderful thing!  You feel like you are miles away but you are in a very safe place doing very cool things.
