The Co Road 188 to Steel Bridge section of Sougahatchee Creek in Lee County is 3 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class I-II(IV) section. There's camping available near Sougahatchee Creek. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way around here you won't find a large number of other spots.
There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. 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 rivers here are less forgiving. Getting some good exercise and just hanging out with mother nature have people coming from far and near. This is a somewhat short section so better bring some good walking shoes.
