CLASS IV     2 miles

    you're in luck, lodging is available very near the river, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. This is a somewhat short section so you'll have to walk back to the start over and over.
There's camping available near Long Green Creek. A bit of exercise and spending some quality time in nature are great reasons to come. There are a few other stretches in this river system that can be paddled as well. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this is an area with plenty of rivers for that.
