Canyon Experience :
     

A really interesting canyon that’s dwarfed by Alva and dollars reputation. But well worth a visit of your doing one of the others in the area. Descended in medium flow, For the most part it is an aqua trek with some amazing features. Parked in the visitors car park and walked to the bridge. From here keep the river to your left and follow the river up until it flattens for an easy entry. A small jump at the beginning of around 2m, lots of down climbs. Eventually you will come to a viewing platform river right, abseil is possible from here but the climb up is a little sketchy, this is possibly a jump here but we were unable to check due to the flow pushing us out.
Incredible views of the bridge from below.
A huge log jam under the bridge blocking the route the only way through is to climb up over them, leaving a 2.5m jump back into the water.
After this a long swim and then exit just after the bridge river left
