Enjoy Outdoor Fun at Charlotte's Whitewater Center 

For some outdoor fun, head to the Whitewater Center. It's found on 1,300 acres of protected land and works to promote healthy and active lifestyles. You'll find more than 30 different recreational activities and unique eateries where you can kick back and enjoy a delicious meal. Here is some of what you'll discover near our Charlotte apartments:

Jumps 

Get your heart pumping with a jumping experience. You'll start on a raised platform and enjoy a short free fall before the belay system slowly lowers you to the ground. Jump heights include 30 feet, 60 feet, and 100 feet. Be sure to wear a pair of closed-toe shoes.  

Rope Courses 

Head into the woods and try the rope courses. You'll find obstacles of varying difficulty, and your athletic ability will be tested unlike ever before. For the hardest challenge, try Canyon Spur. It's the most physically demanding and features pull-ups and tightrope elements built into the course. For an easier adventure, enjoy the Ridge course, complete with platforms, obstacles, and cargo nets. 

Flatwater Kayaking and Stand-up Paddleboarding 

For some time on the water, grab a paddle and enjoy some kayaking or stand-up paddle boarding fun. The adventures take place on Long Creek and the Catawba River as you discover the waterways and see natural wildlife. 

Pump House Biergarten 

Finally, after enjoying a day of fun-filled day activities, relax at the Pump House Biergarten. Along with different food offerings, it features up to 60 craft beers on tap and delicious food offerings that are sure to hit the spot. You'll enjoy friendly service and can watch the paddlers on the Competition Channel. Menu options include bratwurst, cheeseburgers, and chicken tenders. Round out your meal with a side of fries and a pint of Mountain Candy. 

When the weather keeps you indoors, visit Charlotte's museums. If you would like to call The Palmer home, please contact our leasing team. They'll gladly offer a tour where you can discover everything our apartments in Charlotte have to offer.
