White Water Trips disclaimer ...... Read this before proceeding further:

Your decision to "CONTINUE" constitutes acknowledgement that you have read and understood this general disclaimer and that you fully accept and agree with its contents.

Paddlers using the white water trip information contained in this website acknowledge that:

• • some of the trip information or details may have come from external sources and may not have been verified by Acacia Canoe Sales and Hire (ACSAH) prior to inclusion

  • river grading involves a degree of subjectivity - gradings shown are generally based on typical paddleable river levels and are meant to represent an average across a river section, however they do not preclude the possibility of higher grade rapids in that section

  • river and access conditions can and do change over time and the effects of human intervention (eg fences, bridges, weirs, diversion channels etc) and the weather (eg fallen trees, blockages, strainers or channel changes caused by floods or other climatic events) can create unforseen and serious hazards to paddlers

  • by its very nature canoeing is a sport that can involve significant risk of injury or death - paddlers should ensure they carry appropriate safety gear and possess the skills, knowledge, judgement and physical ability to safely negotiate white water river conditions

  • river features or sections that are not obviously safe or are not within the capabilities of a paddler should be inspected and/or portaged where necessary

  • they should firstly read the Trip Preparation section before undertaking any trip

  • trip suggestions provide brief outlines of potentially canoeable river sections and are NOT intended to be a comprehensive guide to paddling such rivers - ACSAH assumes no responsibility either for how this information may be used or interpreted, or for the actions or consequences of any person so using such information.
