This section of Town Creek begins right at High Falls which is a Class V and can be ran with proper water levels, although some decide to begin just after the falls along the right side of the creek. From here you will encounter many Class III rapids through a heavily forested area with cliff ledges above. Two-thirds down this route you come across a blockage which is also a Class V and is only done by highly experienced kayakers. This blockage can be portaged (not shown here). Following the blockage, you will encounter more Class 3 rapids until reaching closer to Lake Guntersville as the creek widens and slows drastically turning into Lake Guntersville. The take out for this trip is located at the Town Creek Fishing Center boat launch/access point along Alabama 227. The flow ranges from 250 to 2000 cfs, with an average gradient of 44 fpm.
