    non stop paddle, suitable for an afternoon trip. No matter if you're whitewater rafting or kayaking in this general area you'll find lots of paddling rivers. If you're a camper you can camp at one of the great campgrounds nearby. A bit of exercise and just hanging out with mother
nature are great attractions for lots of people. Stony Fork Creek doesn't have a lot of paddling sections, the State Forest Picnic Area to Babb Creek section is the only one.
