Illinois whitewater, Cedar Creek Adams county, Parker Heights Entrance at 5th St to Bob Bangart Park section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.   CLASS II-IV     1 miles   Is there no where to fish along this water way, or is the water way on private property? Says Kevin Thompson In response to keith's note. I've kayaked Cedar Creek several times. During heavy rain events the creek is VERY wild. And while yes it is bony, it's a fun ride.. especially since it's one of the only places to get above a class II ride around quincy. Additionally, DO NOT go to bear creek unless you plan on doing some flat     water near where it meets the mississippi river. Any further upstream and you'll be dealing with hostile landowners who aren't aware of the navigability laws in illinois. You'll probably be met by a sherrif on the take out. See uploaded picture of cedar creek a couple of years ago. Says Clint (see picture) I keep up a trail system that runs right along this creek and I severely wouldn't recommend it for water use. It's around a foot deep in all places(most of the trip you'll walk your canoe, raft, etc.)There are good trails around here, but no good rafting. ?I just thought I'd tell people this before they tried it. Try bear creek IL Says keith m   The wonderful Illinois scenery and the cool fresh water will make you feel great. The starting location is a short drive from Quincy, if you're not familiar with the area there's a road map further down the page. This is one of a small number of paddling sections in this river system, there are a few others too. Getting some good exercise and just hanging out with mother nature have people coming from far and near. The campgrounds here at Cedar Creek are pretty good. This section of Cedar Creek is 1 miles long and has been rated as a class II-IV section by American Whitewater. There are plenty of hotels here if you want to spend a night, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set.
