Alabama whitewater - Little Uchee, Lee County

Lee county, Auburn Road to Bishops Bridge section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS III-IV     1 miles
  The rivers for whitewater rafting and kayaking in this state are often tougher than in other states, so better not forget that the rivers in this state are less manageable. This stretch of Little Uchee is 1 miles long and is a class III-IV section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. This is the only paddling stretch along Little Uchee. Getting some good exercise and just being out on the river for a while will have you coming back for more. The starting point is not too far from Auburn-Opelika, please print out a copy of the road map further down
    the page so you won’t get lost. The nature scenery of Lee County and the water flowing gracefully down Little Uchee are reasons enough to come here and paddle. This is a very short section so you'll have to walk back to the start over and over. Not too many hotels nearby, you'll
have to drive a bit to get to one, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. No matter if you're whitewater rafting or kayaking in this general area you won't find many other paddling spots.
