mind that rivers here are less forgiving. A bit of exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors will make you glad you came. The Lower section of Hangman Creek is 7.5 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater
| to be a class II+ section. This is one of a small number of paddling stretches in this river system, there are a few others too.
