Seven Springs flows into the Terrapin Creek.

“The creek, which originates in Northwest Georgia and runs for about 55 miles before emptying into the Coosa River below Weiss Dam, is heavily spring-fed and holds water really well,” Mike said. “There are over 30 watersheds that empty into Terrapin Creek. When the water is just right, there's a quarter-mile long Class 2 rapid that will generate some excitement,” he said.

“Even during the hot, dry summer months when most other Alabama creeks and rivers are too dry to float, you'll find Terrapin Creek still going strong,” he said. “There's an underground spring near the end of the trip called Seven Springs that boaters always think is just amazing; by itself it pumps about a million gallons of water a day into the creek.”
