Great exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors have people coming from
far and near. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way this area has a large number of paddling rivers. There are many good hotels to choose from, but if you don’t have
reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. Furneaux Creek doesn't have a lot of paddling stretches, the Josey Lane to McCoy Road stretch is the only one. This is a pretty short section so it's not like you're gonna spend hours on the river in one stretch.
