Alabama whitewater - Line Creek, Etowah County

Etowah county, Egypt Road to Littleton Road section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS III-IV     2.9 miles
  This section of Line Creek is 2.9 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class III-IV section. The put-in is not too far from Gadsden, please print out a copy of the road map further down the page so you won’t get lost. The rivers for whitewater rafting and kayaking here in Alabama are often tougher than in other states, so if you're not from around here don't forget that a large number of rivers in this state are not easy. The Egypt Road to Littleton Road stretch is the only paddling stretch along Line Creek. The wonderful Etowah
    County scenery and the water flowing gracefully down Line Creek make the trip here worthwhile. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. This is a pretty short section so it's not like you're gonna spend hours on the river in one stretch. Getting some good exercise
and just being out on the river for a while have a lot of people coming here. No shortage of good hotels, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, around here you'll find a large number of good spots.

Briefly about the general area:
A good deal of rainfall falls at Line Creek; most of the rain falls during March, and October is the month with the least moisture. During the months of summer, highs frequently are in the 90's at Line Creek. Summer night lows

Line Creek is right next door to Sheffield Gap which is beyond doubt worth stopping at.
