county,
Jackson Trace to Highway 77 section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS I(II) 2.5 miles
Where the old grist mill is located the state of Alabama blew both ends of the old dam. Please becareful because there is a lot of reed bar and metal that are below the water level. Says John Snodgrass
The put-in is not too far from Talladega-Sylacauga, as you can see on the road map further down. The average Alabama whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be harder to run than those in other states, so you'd better keep in mind that many of the rivers here are not very forgiving. The Jackson Trace to Highway 77 stretch of Choccolocco
Creek in Alabama is 2.5 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class I(II) section. Great exercise and just being out on the river for a while will make you glad you came. The wonderful Talladega County scenery and the sparkling of the sunlight on the
water are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way in this general area you won't find many other paddling places. Choccolocco Creek doesn't have a lot of paddling sections, the Jackson Trace to Highway 77 section is the only one. No shortage of good hotels, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. This is a pretty short section so better bring some good walking shoes.
