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

 

CLASS I(II)     10 miles
  If you're coming from Decatur it's not a long drive at all to the put-in location, please print out a copy of the road map further down the page so you won’t get lost. Whitewater rafting and kayaking in this state is often more difficult than elsewhere, so don't forget that lots of rivers here are not for beginners. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. No matter if you're whitewater rafting or kayaking around here you won't find a large number of other rivers. Brushy Creek doesn't have a lot of paddling stretches, the Brushy Lake
    to FS 255 stretch is the only one. The nature scenery of Winston County and the water flowing gracefully down Brushy Creek are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle. The Brushy Lake to FS 255 section of Brushy Creek in Alabama is 10 miles long and has been determined
by American Whitewater to be a class I(II) section. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. 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.
