The Pleasant Green Dam to Eno River section of Stone's Creek is 0.08 miles long and it is classified as a class IV+ section by American Whitewater. If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside this state you might find the rivers here a bit more forgiving, so don't forget that a large number of rivers in this state are quite easy. Getting a good workout and a chance to spend some time outdoors are great reasons to come. This is the only paddling
    section along Stone's Creek. There are many good hotels to choose from, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. No matter if you're whitewater rafting or kayaking there are lots of good places for that around here. This is an extremely short stretch
so you'd better be prepared to walk your kayak back to put-in a few times. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground.
