Anglers, paddlers, and nature lovers will enjoy easy access to both waterways. For experienced kayakers, the challenging whitewater of Upper and Lower Gordon Falls is located just upstream.
The surrounding region is known for its vast timberlands, much of which allows public recreational access for hunting, fishing, hiking, snowmobiling, ATV riding, and wildlife viewing.
