The Black River, previously placid, becomes a whitewater river at this point. Except for the impoundment of Lake Arbutus, the rest of the river is relatively high in gradient and filled with boulders. On this section, however, the whitewater has subsided and it is a wonderful, scenic and relaxing trip. Rock formations, forested banks, and lovely cliffs provide spectacular views. This section is the most popular on the Black River because of its accessibility with many great landings, its wild setting, and its suitability for beginners and families.
