개스톤 카운티 최고의 MTB 라이딩 경로

Great system of trails with beginner to advanced, short rides to nearly 50 miles.

From this spot you get great views of the competition channel, a challenging section of the manmade whitewater course. There is a footbridge and several Adirondack chairs here providing ample spots to relax by the water and watch the kayakers and rafters paddle by. Just a couple hundred yards from here is the Pump House Biergarden where you can grab a drink and a snack.

One of the stream crossings is done via a wooden bridge, which is a balance challenge considering how thin it is. It's a great technical feature.

The Rocky Branch Trail is a 1.25 mile trail that connects the towns of Belmont and Cramerton, North Carolina and is for primarily mountain bikers and hikers. Several single-track mountain bike trails extend off of this pleasant, shaded trail, so be aware and share the trails.

The Dickson Center is the main guest services building in the US National Whitewater Center. There are bathrooms, locker and changing rooms, places to purchase food, and a gear shop. At the center you can purchase passes to do activities, including an all-access pass which allows you to participate in all of the activities offered, including white water rafting and kayaking, rock climbing, mountain biking, a high ropes course, and (depending on the season) ice skating (https://center.whitewater.org/plan-your-visit/activity-passes/). If you want to keep your day more low key, however, you can explore the amazing campus for free!

When visiting the US National Whitewater Center, not only can you learn how to paddle and go on hikes and mountain bike rides, you can learn how to rock climb! In this particular spot you can climb attached to a rope on outdoor, freestanding pinnacles. This facility is most famous, however, for its deep water soloing. Deep water soloing is where you climb without a rope and fall into deep pools of water, breaking your fall. The roped options here at the climbing center are great way to try out climbing and might be a better option for beginners.
