Bear Creek (Franklin/ Marion Co.)

I have run this river many times. It is a great run in the middle of summer. There is water every weekend. We use the Bear Creek Canoe renters at US Hwy 43, Hackelberg, Al 35580 ( 1 800 788 7070 /205 993 4459 ) to haul us back and forth on the river. They only charge us $10.00 per Kayak. It is a pretty float with a a couple of fun play spots. We usually run each spot several times. It is only a short carry up the left side of the river . even with stopping we can make the trip in about 4 hours.
