Description:

This is a nice begginners flat water paddle for kayaks, canoes or stand up paddle boards (SUP) if there has been enough rain to put water in the river and it ends outside the 200 year old Inn at St Albans. If there has been no rain or onlylight rain the river is just a series of ponds with long walks across sand banks. The river flows through farm land and bushland and the river is lined with phragmities reeds which cross the river in a few places. There is a low level crossing at Gorricks Run, a low level bridge at Upper MacDonald and the remains of a wooden bridge between Mogo Creek and St albans. these will need to be portaged.
