Alabama whitewater - Choccolocco Creek, Talladega County

Talladega county, Jackson Trace to Highway 77 section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS I(II)     2.5 miles
  The rivers for whitewater rafting and kayaking here in Alabama are often tougher than in other states, so don't forget that many of the rivers here are not very forgiving. The nature scenery of Alabama and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream make the trip here worthwhile. This is a short paddling stretch so you'd better be prepared to walk your kayak back to put-in a few times. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. Getting your paddling muscles activated and just being out on the river for a while will have
    you coming back for more. No shortage of good hotels, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. The put-in is not too far from Talladega-Sylacauga, as you can see on the road map further down. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater
rafting or kayaking, either way this is an area with not too many other places for that. There are no other sections to paddle along Choccolocco Creek than the Jackson Trace to Highway 77 section.
