Welcome: Thank you for your interest in the Coosa River and paddling with the Coosa Outdoor Center in Wetumpka, Alabama . Canoe and sit-on-top kayak rentals are available most anytime by reservation. The gathering spot for the Coosa Outdoor Center is the Dirt Farm Equipment Barn at 107 River Road, Wetumpka, AL. We'll take you and the rental boats to the put located below Jordan Dam.

Whether you are a beginner or experienced paddler, young or more mature, you’ll have a great time doing the Coosa! The river water is clear and the scenery on the Coosa is beautifully serene. One often has the opportunity to see osprey, eagles and great blue herons. The Coosa River is also the home of the Cahaba Lily and the Tulotomo Magnificent Snail which are endangered species
The first half mile of your Coosa Outdoor Center adventure is moving flat water which is a great place to become familiar with your boat and comfortable with the river. The rapids begin at River Falls with Class I and II rapids interspersed with pools of flat water. Class II/III Moccasin Gap is located about half way down the whitewater stretch of the Coosa. The average float trip on the Coosa is approximately four hours and 15 minutes. The river center rock at Moccasin Gap is a great place to stop and watch the kayakers do their boating tricks, swim, and picnic with your friends and family.

The Coosa Outdoor Center is a member of the Professional Paddlesports Association
