The FS 210 to CR60 section of Hubbard Creek/Sipsey Fork in Lawrence/ Winston County is 9.25 miles long and has been rated as a class I(III) section by American Whitewater. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way there are not so many other good places for that around here. Not too many hotels nearby, you'll have to drive
a bit to get to one, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. This section is long enough to enjoy a good non stop paddle, it's perfect for a one day trip. The FS 210 to CR60 stretch is the only paddling stretch along Hubbard Creek/Sipsey Fork. The average Alabama
whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit harder to master than those in other states, so better not forget that many of the sections here are not safe for beginners.
