Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this is an area with plenty of rivers for that. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. Getting your paddling muscles activated and just being out on the river for a while have people coming from far and near. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car.
