Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way this is an area with
not too many other rivers for that. This river system is full of great paddling stretches, the Riley Creek to Twin Rocks stretch is just one of them. Lodging is available near the river, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. A good workout
and just being out on the river for a while will make you glad you came. The rivers for whitewater rafting and kayaking in this state are often tougher than in other states, so better not forget that many of the sections here are not safe for beginners.
