Explore the Mitchell River as it snakes its way through rainforest and gullies, bushland and spectacular gorges.
Glide between tranquil gullies by raft, kayak or canoe; the wide river is ideal for curious floating travellers. Between July and December when the river rages, turn the adrenaline up a notch as the river takes Grade III and IV rapids.
