Whitewater and rock-climbing will soon be options for our students!

Columbus State University is so very proud to play a key partnership role in the ongoing transformation of Uptown Columbus along and near the riverfront. The latest announcement by a team led by businessman John Turner and Mayors Jim Wetherington
 ( Columbus) and Sonny Coulter (Phenix City) precedes the summer 2010 construction/engineering on the Chattahoochee River that will create 2.5 miles of whitewater. The whitewater course will begin around 35th street and end near 11th street and will be the southernmost whitewater course in the eastern U.S. The "ready2raft 2012" project will attract whitewater kayaking, canoeing, rafting and freshwater surfers to Uptown Columbus on the shores of CSU's RiverPark Campus. Whitewater venues in Ocoee, TN, Charlotte, NC and Reno, NV attract hundreds of thousands of visitors annually. This incredibly exciting enhancement of the river coupled with completion of our new 103,000 sq.ft. Student Recreation Center which brings world-class rock climbing and bouldering to campus creates a great combination of extreme sports options for all.
