CLASS IV 2 miles
This section of White Oak Creek is 2 miles long and is a class IV section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside this state you might find the rivers here a bit more forgiving, so you'd better keep in mind that rivers here are not as hard as elsewhere. The starting location is a reasonable drive from Danville, please print out a copy of the road map further down the page so you won’t get lost. Getting some good exercise and just being out on the river for a while are sure to keep you coming
back for more. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way this area has a large number of paddling rivers. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to
stay the night, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. The Kentucky 1845 to Kentucky River section is the only paddling section along White Oak Creek. This is a pretty short section so it's not like you're gonna spend hours on the river in one stretch.
