The average Indiana whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit easier to master than those in other states, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that many of the rivers here are not very demanding. The West Simonton to St. Joseph River section of Christiana Creek in Indiana is 1.5 miles long and has been rated as a
class I-II section by American Whitewater. The starting location is a reasonable drive from Elkhart-Goshen, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that. Getting your paddling muscles activated and a chance to spend some time outdoors will make you glad you came.
The beautiful scenery of Indiana and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream make the trip here worthwhile. The campgrounds here at Christiana Creek are pretty good. This is a bit of a short stretch so better bring some good walking shoes. There are many good hotels to choose from, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. There are no other stretches to paddle along Christiana Creek than the West Simonton to St. Joseph River stretch. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter,
there are not so many other good spots for that around here.
