U.S. National Whitewater Center - world's largest man-made whitewater center (claimed)

The U.S. National Whitewater Center in Charlotte advertises itself as the world's largest man-made whitewater river and one of the largest outdoor adventure centers. The facility includes an artificial whitewater river with multiple channels and configurable rapids, plus extensive trails, rock climbing, zip lines, and flatwater paddling. The center opened in 2006 on a site along the Catawba River and hosts regional, national, and international whitewater events; the 'world's largest' designation is a claim made by the organization.
