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
  The natural beauty of Etowah County and the playfulness of the water are reasons enough to come here and paddle. Whitewater rafting and kayaking in Alabama is often tougher than elsewhere, so if you're not from around here don't forget that a lot of the rivers here are not suitable for beginners. Great exercise and just being out on the river for a while are great attractions for lots of people. The put-in location is a reasonable drive from Gadsden, if you're not familiar with the area there's a road map further down the page. Lodging is available near the
    river, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, this is an area with plenty of rivers for that. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. The Egypt Road
to Littleton Road stretch of Line Creek in Etowah County is 2.9 miles long and it is classified as a class III-IV section by American Whitewater. There are no other sections to paddle along Line Creek than the Egypt Road to Littleton Road section.
