Description:
The river flows through a scenic rural valley surrounded by mountain ranges up to 1600m in height. The section has no more than some easy grade 2 rapids and is almost free of paddling hazards. It provides very good conditions for learning basic white-water techniques with mainly gravel race rapids. However winter paddling can be very cold. A fallen tree hazard is easily sighted as is an old dangling suspension bridge at the 9km mark. Good river levels are dependent on seasonal weather conditions with spring being the more reliable period. If there appears to be a navigable channel in the rapid immediately upstream of Brindabella Bridge then the river is canoeable.
