Cullman county, State Route 91 to County Road 783 section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS II-III     2.9 miles
 
I seen where to pit in at on Google earth but I cant seem to locate the place to pull out. Says Derrick Attaway

This stretch of Lick Creek in Cullman County is 2.9 miles long and is a class II-III section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. The wonderful Alabama scenery and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream beats anything. This is a pretty short section so you'll have to walk back to the start over and over. This is the only paddling section along Lick Creek. Whitewater rafting and kayaking in Alabama is often
    tougher than elsewhere, so keep in mind that many of the rivers here are not very forgiving. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way there are lots of good spots for that around here. For all you camping people there are campgrounds nearby. Not too many
hotels nearby, you'll have to drive a bit to get to one, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. The put-in location is a short drive from Cullman, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that. Getting your paddling muscles activated and spending some quality time in nature have people coming from far and near.
