This stretch of Line Creek is 2.9 miles long and it is classified as a class III-IV section by American Whitewater. The average Alabama whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be harder to run than those in other states, so don't forget that many of the sections here are not safe for beginners. Line Creek doesn't have
    a lot of paddling sections, the Egypt Road to Littleton Road section is the only one. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this is an area with plenty of rivers for that. A bit of exercise and just being out on the river for a while are great attractions for lots of people.
There are nice comfortable hotels here, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. This section is quite short so better bring some good walking shoes.
