Alabama whitewater - Brushy Creek, Winston County

Winston county, Brushy Lake to FS 255 section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS I(II)     10 miles
  Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in Alabama are harder than the national norm, so if you're not from around here don't forget that many of the sections here are not safe for beginners. The starting location is a short drive from Decatur, please print out a copy of the road map further down the page so you won’t get lost. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. Getting a good workout and spending some quality time in nature
    are sure to keep you coming back for more. No matter if you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this area has a pretty small number of paddling rivers. The scenic beauty of Winston County and the water flowing gracefully down Brushy Creek make the trip here worthwhile. The Brushy
Lake to FS 255 section is the only paddling section along Brushy Creek. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. If you hurry you can run this section in a day but why not make it an overnighter, so go ahead and pack your camping stuff. The Brushy Lake to FS 255 stretch of Brushy Creek in Winston County is 10 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class I(II) section.
