Sports & RECREATION
Thrill a Lot
Most people in Charlotte like to play as hard as they work, which has shaped the city into a place where mountain-biking trails meet expertly manicured greens. If you like sports, cheering for the Carolina Panthers can be followed up by tubing along the shores of Lake Norman.
If you are looking for some recreation, a day of whitewater rafting at the U.S. National Whitewater Center is best complemented by a stroll through an oak-shaded park. With world-famous public golf courses, pro sports events that bring fans to their feet, and adventurous attractions clamoring for thrill seekers, you’ll see why Charlotte enjoys playing so hard…and be ready to join them.
