During the irrigation season, the river is moderate to fast flowing water with no rapids, through farming country. The banks are lined with willows and gums, and care should  taked  as  there is sometimes  blockage with trees across the river requiring portage. These change with each flood event.  Sand bars and plenty of eddies provide ready stopping points while on the river.
waypoints along this section are listed on this site.    Neila rd, Cudgello ln. , Dukes ln, and Boorowa rd park. These allow entry or exit at sites along the river through public land.
From Darby Falls to the Boorowa River junction there are lots of willows which at times almost choke the river. There are two logs across the river about 1klm fro Darby Falls, which need to be portaged around (Jan 2017). There is also a standing wave 200 m before the Boorowa River junction caused by shallow bedrock, but it is just fun and can be avoided. 
 
About 1.5klm after the Boorowa River junction there is a 100m long island (willows, weeds and long grass). The right hand side has a log across it whch requires portage (Jan 2017), and the LHS has become impassable due to sandbars.
