CLASS II-IV+ 2 miles
The natural beauty of Alabama and the playfulness of the water attract people from near and far. The starting point is not too far from Anniston-Oxford, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that. Whitewater rafting and kayaking in Alabama is often tougher than elsewhere, so you'd better keep in mind that the rivers in this state are less manageable. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way there are not so many other good rivers for that around here. There are no other stretches to paddle along Cheaha
Creek than the Cheaha Falls to Devils Den stretch. Not too many hotels nearby, you'll have to drive a bit to get to one, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. This is a bit of a short stretch so you'll have to walk back to the start over and
over. This stretch of Cheaha Creek is 2 miles long and has been rated as a class II-IV+ section by American Whitewater. Getting some good exercise and just hanging out with mother nature are great attractions for lots of people. For all you camping people there are campgrounds nearby.
