Seldom boated due to lack of water. In a sudden flood be aware of possible wires across the river. Users must complete the JBNZ river run log to keep this uplift current.

From the Jet Boating New Zealand Canterbury river information sheet of July 2024, transcribed by hand on 17 October 2026. Uplifting is whether the 5-knot limit is lifted for the section. JBNZ can update the sheet at any time; flo checked it 6 h ago. Open the PDF.
