Huntington county, County Road 200 to 150 section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS I-II     1.75 miles
  If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside Indiana you might find the rivers here a bit more manageable, so you'd better keep in mind that rivers here are less demanding. The wonderful Indiana scenery and the water flowing gracefully down Rock Creek have people coming here. The County Road 200 to 150 stretch is the only paddling stretch along Rock Creek. This is a bit of a short stretch so you'd better be prepared to walk your kayak back to put-in a few times. The put-in is not too far from Huntington, there's a road map further down the page
    with more info on that. The campgrounds here at Rock Creek are pretty good. This stretch of Rock Creek in Huntington County is 1.75 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class I-II section. If you'll be staying in a hotel you're in luck, lodging is available very
near the river, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. No matter if you're whitewater rafting or kayaking there are not so many other good spots for that around here. A bit of exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors have a lot of people coming here.
