Nice warm up river for beginners. Also nice and short run so can be run real quick.
River Rises and falls very quickly.So get on fast an go when the levels are high!
There is few eddies on this river but the ones you find are quite large. The river starts at an old stone road bridge which has a nice pool underneath it. The river has a few S bends and a nice slide section half way down the river at a stone road bridge which should be scouted before running the river to make sure bridge isn't blocked by trees as it is hard to get out just before to check.
Suggested route under the bridge would be center or river right (if the water levels are high enough) but other than that it is all read and run from the start to finish.
Trees blocking the bridge at slide and the hole under the bridge at the start in high/very high levels can be very sticky.
There is no local issues. Just don't block access to fields with cars, the usual stuff.
No gauge is linked to this guide yet.
If paddlers check a gauge before running it, you can help. Suggest the gauge, and the levels it needs if you know them. Once an admin approves it, this guide shows the live level, a level history and how the river usually rises and falls through the year.

As you Cross the river the first time coming from Glengariff, just look at river and if it look scrapy it wont be too good but if its tanking then your good to go.There is a river gauge but iv yet to check it during good levels so will update.
From Glengariff head towards Castletownbere, heading west on the R572. When you reach Adrigole bridge you will cross this river.
Take a right after you cross the river. Take the second right turn along that road, after about 1.5km, to reach the putin. The first right turn gives a good view of the slide and you can check for trees blocking bridge.
The take out is anywhere along the road of your choice after the river meets the sea.
