Rt. 176 to Little River section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS V+ 0.5 miles
The beautiful scenery of Alabama and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle. 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 runs in this state are not easy. The Rt. 176 to Little River stretch of Wolf Creek in DeKalb County is 0.5 miles long and it is classified as a class V+ section by American Whitewater. This river system has a few good paddling stretches and the Rt. 176 to Little
River section is one of them. The put-in location is a short drive from Summerville, if you're not familiar with the area there's a road map further down the page. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. This is an extremely short stretch so no need to bring snacks. Whether
you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this is an area with plenty of places for that. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. Great exercise and spending some quality time in nature are sure to keep you coming back for more.
