Alabama whitewater - Guess Creek, Jackson Co County

Jackson Co county, state Highway 146 to county road 20 section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS III-IV+     8.5 miles
  The wonderful Jackson Co County scenery and the playfulness of the water have people coming here. Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in Alabama are harder than the national norm, so keep in mind that a large number of rivers in this state are not easy. A good workout and just hanging out with mother nature have a lot of people coming here. This is a pretty decent length section, suitable for an afternoon trip. If you're a camper you can camp at one of the great campgrounds nearby. This is the only paddling stretch along Guess Creek. No need to look
    hard for hotels, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination.
