Alabama whitewater - Stone Creek, Tallapoosa County

Tallapoosa county, Oak Heights Road to Tallapoosa river section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS II(IV)     1.5 miles
  This section of Stone Creek is 1.5 miles long and it is classified as a class II(IV) section by American Whitewater. The average Alabama whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be harder to run than those in other states, so you'd better keep in mind that many runs in this state are not easy. Getting your paddling muscles activated and just being out on the river for a while will make you glad you came. This is a bit of a short stretch so you'd better be prepared to walk your kayak back to put-in a few times. You might be into whitewater rafting
    or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, this is an area with not too many other rivers for that. There are no other stretches to paddle along Stone Creek than the Oak Heights Road to Tallapoosa river stretch. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, but do book a room before
you come because it is a very popular destination. The natural beauty of Alabama and the cool fresh water attract people from near and far. The starting location is a short drive from Tuskegee, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that. The campgrounds here at Stone Creek are pretty good.
