DeKalb county, Rt. 176 to Little River section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS V+     0.5 miles
  The average Alabama whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit harder to master than those in other states, so better not forget that a lot of the rivers here are not suitable for beginners. The Rt. 176 to Little River stretch of Wolf Creek in Alabama is 0.5 miles long and has been rated as a class V+ section by American Whitewater. If you're coming from Summerville it's not a long drive at all to the starting location, if you're not familiar with the area there's a road map further down the page. 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. Getting some good exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors have a lot of people coming here. The natural beauty of DeKalb County and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream
beats anything. There's camping available near Wolf Creek. This is a very short section so you'd better be prepared to walk your kayak back to put-in a few times. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking there are lots of good rivers for that around here. The Rt. 176 to Little River section is one of a few paddling sections in this river system.
