  This stretch of Rattlesnake Creek in Indiana is 3.5 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class II(III) section. The average Indiana whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit easier to master than those in other states, so keep in mind that lots of rivers here are good for beginners. The put-in location is a reasonable drive from Crawfordsville, as you can see on the road map further down. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. Getting your paddling muscles activated and just hanging out with mother nature
    are sure to keep you coming back for more. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this area has a pretty small number of paddling spots. This is a somewhat short section so it's not like you're gonna spend hours on the river in one stretch. The nearby hotels are a bit away
from the river, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. The nature scenery of Montgomery County and the playfulness of the water attract people from near and far. There are no other sections to paddle along Rattlesnake Creek than the CR-275 W to Offield Monument Road section.
