Alabama whitewater - Hubbard Creek/Sipsey Fork, Lawrence/ Winston County

Lawrence/ Winston county, FS 210 to CR60 section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS I(III)     9.25 miles
  This stretch of Hubbard Creek/Sipsey Fork in Alabama is 9.25 miles long and it is classified as a class I(III) section by American Whitewater. The wonderful Lawrence/ Winston County scenery and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water have people coming here. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way there are not so many other good places for that around here. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your
    car. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. Getting a good workout and spending some quality time in nature will make you glad you came. Hubbard Creek/Sipsey Fork doesn't have a lot of paddling sections, the FS 210 to CR60 section is the only one. This is a pretty decent
length section, it's perfect for a one day trip. The average whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit harder to master in this state than those in other states, so keep in mind that many of the rivers here are not very forgiving.
