Whitewater rafting and kayaking in Alabama is often more difficult than elsewhere, so keep in mind that the rivers in this state are less manageable. This stretch of Honeycomb Creek is 2.8 miles long and it is classified as a class IV-V section by American Whitewater. 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. The wonderful |
Marshall County scenery and the playfulness of the water have people coming here. The starting point is not too far from Albertville, if you're not familiar with the area there's a road map further down the page. Getting
| your paddling muscles activated and spending some quality time in nature are great attractions for lots of people. This is one of a small number of paddling sections in this river system, there are a few others too. If you're a camper you can camp at one of the great campgrounds nearby. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, there are lots of good places for that around here.
