Category : Sports & Recreation

Other features of interest such as canoe launch access and portage points are also shown. Details of facilities, walking and cycling routes and local history add useful information. Photographs help to highlight points of interest along the way and confirm this guide to be the essential companion for anyone planning to navigate the river, whether by boat, canoe, bicycle or on foot.
