    you coming back for more. There's camping available near North Suck Creek. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. This is not the only paddling stretch
in this river system, there are others too. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way around here you'll find a large number of good spots.
