CLASS II(III)     3.9 miles
  If you're coming from Albertville it's not a long drive at all to the put-in location, please print out a copy of the road map further down the page so you won’t get lost. The nature scenery of Alabama and the water flowing gracefully down Town Creek beats anything. The average Alabama whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit harder to master than those in other states, so keep in mind that many of the sections here are not safe for beginners. This section of Town Creek is 3.9 miles long and has been rated as a class II(III) section by American
    Whitewater. This is a short paddling stretch so you'll have to walk back to the start over and over. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. A good workout and a chance to spend some time outdoors have people coming
from far and near. This is one of a small number of paddling stretches in this river system, there are a few others too. If you're a camper you can camp at one of the great campgrounds nearby.

For the period of the wintertime this place gets highs in the 40's, and after the sun is down all through the winter temperatures at Town Creek plunge into the 20's. Town Creek sees pretty high
 
levels of precipitation; most of the rain falls through March while October is commonly the driest month.
It's always great to stop at High Falls.
