Bridle Trail to White River section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS II-III(V) 1.5 miles
The nature scenery of Indiana and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream have people coming here. The average Indiana whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be easier to run than those in other states, so don't forget that a large number of rivers in this state are quite easy. If you're coming from Bloomington 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. There are no other stretches to paddle along McCormick's Creek than the Bridle Trail
to White River stretch. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way there are not so many other good places for that around here. This stretch of McCormick's Creek in Owen County is 1.5 miles long and has been determined by American
Whitewater to be a class II-III(V) section. This is a somewhat short section so you'd better be prepared to walk your kayak back to put-in a few times. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp.
