Getting a good workout and just being out on the river for a while have people coming from far and near. If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside this state you might find
the rivers here a bit more forgiving, so you'd better keep in mind that rivers here are not as hard as elsewhere. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular
destination. This section is long enough for an overnight trip if you take your time, so pack your camp stove. There are plenty of other stretches in this river system that can be paddled as well.
