Tubing is the perfect activity to escape the heat of a Charlotte summer. Just 25 minutes from Uptown, you can set off on your tubing adventure. Here’s what you need to know. The starting point for tubing is at the Catawba River Access point at Wylie Dam, south of Charlotte right into South Carolina. At the dam, you will find a FREE parking lot with spots for boat trailers and cars. Once the lot fills up, you are allowed to park along the entry road for the parking lot and the main road (new Gray Rock Road). HOWEVER, it’s best to get to the parking lots by 11am on weekends…
