Description

At the confluence of Five Mile Creek, the river volume doubles, creating a more powerful and technical stretch with increased turbulence and potential hydraulic features. Paddlers should be prepared for potential lateral waves and debris near the creek entrance, with careful route selection critical to navigating the increased flow and potential obstacles.
