Play With more than 24 activities, the USNWC creates an outdoor playground for all ages. Activities that include whitewater rafting and kayaking, flatwater kayaking, mountain biking, rock climbing, zip lines and ropes courses are available to all ages and skill levels. Come during the day and enjoy any of these activities then stay for the evening River Jam.


River’s Edge Bar & Grill The River’s Edge Bar & Grill offers a wide selection of food, beer and wine while the patio overlooks our man-made whitewater river, giving restaurant visitors a view of both rafters and kayakers paddling down the Competition Channel while being the ideal way to relax after a day of playing outside.


The Market Featuring several quick-grab options for guests on the go, The Market is the ideal spot to grab refreshments between activities including sandwiches, salads, craft beer, smoothies and more. The outdoor bar is open during special events and concerts and highlights a new featured brewery for draft beer options every other week throughout the summer.


Pump House Biergarten Located on Belmont Abbey Island, the Pump House Biergarten offers twenty craft beers on tap and a variety of made-to-order food options from the USNWC Food Truck with seating overlooking the Competition Channel. The Pump House Pavilion (coming late summer 2014) will add even more craft beer options and a new outdoor grill for River Jam concerts and special events
