The mouth of the river opens for a short period each year and freshens the river up, but for most of the year it is more like a beautiful long lake with no strong river currents.
Canoes: Canadian style canoes are used where the users sit on seats inside the craft. These are popular with families and other tourists as you can stay dry in them. All 4 canoes are licensed to sit a maximum of 3 people. A single blade canoe paddle is provided for each user.
Kayaks: These are a sit-on-top self-draining craft. They are ideal for windy conditions and beginners as they are easy to paddle and particularly stable. The JPSA fleet contains 6 single and 10 double seat kayaks. A double blade kayak paddle is provided for each user.
