I seen where to pit in at on Google earth but I cant seem to locate the place to pull out. Says Derrick Attaway

The rivers for whitewater rafting and kayaking in this state are often tougher than in other states, so better not forget that many runs in this state are not easy. The wonderful Cullman County scenery and the water flowing gracefully down Lick Creek will make you feel great. Getting some good exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors have a lot of people coming here. This section of Lick Creek in Cullman County is 2.9 miles
    long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class II-III section. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way this area has a large number of paddling rivers. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night,
but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. The put-in is not too far from Cullman, if you're not familiar with the area there's a road map further down the page.
