This short 6-mile trail is suitable for beginners. There are four access points, so it is possible to choose a trip
of different lengths. Rowan Avenue Bridge is no longer a viable access point although it is listed on earlier
canoe trail maps.
The wildest and most scenic section of the river is within the boundaries of the 80-acre
Grey Preserve. Below the Preserve and closer to the coast, the river can be busy with boat traffic, especially
weekends and holidays.
Submerged logs are the biggest hazard for paddlers since the water is dark. You
can explore about a half mile upriver from Grey Preserve if desired - PDEP
