There are a few other sections in this river system that can be paddled as well. Lodging is available near the river, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up
    quick. Great exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors are great reasons to come. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way there are not so many other good rivers for that around here. This is a very
short stretch so no need to bring snacks.
