Getting a good workout and spending some quality time in nature are great reasons to come. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at
    a nearby campground. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this area has a large number of paddling spots. This is the only paddling section along South Sandy Creek. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem but
you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. If you have the time you can make this a two day trip, so why not pack your sleeping bag too.
