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
  Whitewater rafting and kayaking in this state is often more difficult than elsewhere, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that quite a few of the sections here are not easy. The natural beauty of Lee County and the cool fresh water attract people from near and far. This section of Little Uchee is 1 miles long and has been rated as a class III-IV section by American Whitewater. If you're coming from Auburn-Opelika it's not a long drive at all to the put-in location, as you can see on the road map further down. You can pitch a tent or park your
    RV at a nearby campground. 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. This is the only paddling stretch along Little Uchee. This is an extremely short section so better bring some good walking shoes.
Great exercise and spending some quality time in nature have people coming from far and near.

Briefly about the general area:
For the period of the summer at Little Uchee highs are mostly in the 90's. When the night sets in temperatures descend down into the 60's.
