Rocky Gorge Details

Even during an unusually long and hot draught, this part of the Swift River flows with a mighty force through a thin and narrow gorge. The rapids continue downstream until they plummet down a 10-foot waterfall. For a great view over the gorge, talk a walk along the wooden bridge that stretches over it, giving you a birds-eye view over the strong current as it passes by under you.
