Great exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors are great reasons to come. This is a short paddling stretch so you'll have to walk back to the start over and over. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car.
