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 starts outside the 200 year old Inn at St Albans, which makes a great place to return to at the end of the day for a drink with the locals.  If there has been no rain or onlylight rain the river is just a series of ponds with long walks across sand banks down to Fleemings Creek. After Flemmings Creek the river is tidal. The river flows through farm land and bushland. there is no obsticles to portage in this section. At the lower end you can come across Water skiers although the river is a no- wash zone. There is no public access between these two points on the river but you can paddle up from Sunnyvale to Flemmings Creek
