The average Alabama whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit harder to master than those in other states, so if you're visiting
    here do keep in mind that rivers here are not as easy as elsewhere. Getting some good exercise and just being out on the river for a while are sure to keep you coming back for more. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way in this
general area you'll find lots of paddling spots. This is the only paddling stretch along Rice Creek. 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.
