A bit of exercise and just being out on the river for a while are great reasons to come. 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. The Covered Bridge to Wills Creek stretch is the only paddling stretch along Brush Creek. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter,
around here you'll find a large number of good places. This is a somewhat short section so you'd better be prepared to walk your kayak back to put-in a few times. If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside this state you might find the rivers here a bit more forgiving, so better not forget that many of the rivers here are not very demanding.
