You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. Getting a good workout and a chance to spend some time outdoors have a lot of people coming here. The Lake Howard
to East Fork Little stretch is one of many paddling stretches in this river system. The put-in location is a reasonable drive from Summerville, as you can see on the road map further down. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way
this is an area with plenty of places for that. The average whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit harder to master in this state than those in other states, so if you're not from around here don't forget that quite a few of the sections here are not easy. This is a pretty decent length section, suitable for an afternoon trip. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground.
