into Big Loss Creek section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
The scenic beauty of Polk County and the water flowing gracefully down Little Loss Creek attract people from near and far. The average whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit harder to master in this state than those in other states, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that many runs in this state are not easy. This is a bit of a short stretch so no need to bring snacks. A bit of exercise and just being out on the river for a while are sure to keep you coming back for more. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground.
