Plenty of water around but access/drink-ability is changeable. Carry at least 1 litre

After rain, water crossings may be deeper. Avoid after heavy rains if river is high as parts of this trail will be prone to flooding if the river bursts it's banks.

Water crossings would be less than knee deep normally, opportunities are present to rock/log hop to avoid getting wet feet but may be slippery.
