{{Main|East Race Waterway}}
South Bend is home to the first [[artificial whitewater]] center in North America, the [[East Race Waterway]], adjacent to Century Center. The East Race Waterway is one of only four operating artificial whitewater facilities in the United States, the others being [[Dickerson Whitewater Course]] (in [[Dickerson, Maryland]]), [[U.S. National Whitewater Center]] (in [[Charlotte, North Carolina]]), [[Adventure Sports Center International]] (in [[McHenry, Maryland]]), and [[Riversports Rapids]] (in [[Oklahoma City]], [[Oklahoma]]). The East Race Waterway is one of only [[List of artificial whitewater courses|six such facilities]] to have ever been operated in the US, the others being the four aforementioned courses and the now-defunct [[Ocoee Whitewater Center]] (in [[Ducktown, Tennessee]]). Prior to the opening of Riversports Rapids, the East Race had long been the only such US facility not located in an [[East Coast of the United States|East Coast]] state. The waterway is closed as of 2021 because a [[hydroelectric]] [[dam]] is being built at the source.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://green.nd.edu/get-involved/energy-emissions/notre-dame-hydro-project-preparing-for-a-sustainable-future-by-looking-to-the-past/|title = Notre Dame Hydro Project: Preparing for a sustainable future by looking to the past. &#124; Energy & Emissions &#124; Get Involved &#124; Office of Sustainability &#124; University of Notre Dame}}</ref>
