Description
The first nine miles of this reach appear to be totally flatwater, until Flannigan Rapids is reached. From here down to the confluence with the W Br, there is an average gradient of 15'/mile, creating low grade rapids. To reach a take-out, one must paddle at least 2.25 miles across a flowage (behind the Victoria Falls dam). This is not reflected in the gradient figures, though it is reflected by the take-out coordinates (for shuttle routing to work correctly).
