You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, this is an area with not too many other rivers for that.

    here are not as hard as elsewhere. This is an extremely short section so no need to bring snacks. This is the only paddling stretch along Sugar Creek. A good workout and spending some quality time in nature are great attractions for lots of people. There aren’t any hotels right
nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination.
