This stretch of Blackwater Creek in Walker County is 8.9 miles long and it is classified as a class I-II section by American Whitewater. The rivers for whitewater rafting and kayaking in this state are often tougher than in other states, so if you're not from around here don't forget that a large number of rivers in this state are not easy. The scenic beauty of Walker County and the playfulness of the water are reasons enough to come here and paddle. On this
    section you do get some distance, it's perfect for a one day trip. Getting your paddling muscles activated and just being out on the river for a while are great reasons to come. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking in this general area you won't find many other paddling
rivers. This is the only paddling stretch along Blackwater Creek. The campgrounds here at Blackwater Creek are pretty good. There are some good hotels near the river, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick.
