  Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in Alabama are harder than the national norm, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that many runs in this state are not easy. This stretch of Walnut Creek in Chilton County is 4.1 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class II-III section. The beautiful scenery of Alabama and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream have people coming here. The County Road 32 to Lake Mitchell section is the only paddling section along Walnut Creek. This is a pretty decent length section, good for
    a one day paddling trip. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this is an area with not too many other places for that. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem but you'd better reserve in advance because these
hotels fill up quick. A bit of exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors are great reasons to come.
