Indiana whitewater - Sugar Creek, Montgomery County
Montgomery
county,
Darlington section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS I-II 1.2 miles
If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside this state you might find the rivers here a bit more forgiving, so if you're not from around here don't forget that many of the sections here are safe for beginners. The nature scenery of Indiana and the playfulness of the water make the trip here worthwhile. A bit of exercise and just hanging out with mother nature are great attractions for lots of people. This is a very short stretch so it's not like you're gonna spend hours on the river in one stretch. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit
away from the river if you want to stay the night, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. The Darlington stretch of Sugar Creek in Montgomery County is 1.2 miles long and it is classified as a class I-II section by American Whitewater. There are no other stretches
to paddle along Sugar Creek than the Darlington stretch. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby.
