Comments on Portages:
Numerous, a total distance of 3 1/4 km, none, however, are over 800 meters.
Comments on Rapids:
all portaged around.
Comments on Campsites:
(Limitations, General Location): Fairly numerous until the Barron River. On the Barron River there are only two. Since this route is popular with the public, there may be a shortage of campsites.
Points of interest:
The 100 m deep Barron River Canyon is spectacular.
