Some sections of the river are used for kayaking, fishing, and tubing, particularly in areas with calm waters and slower currents. Swimming may be less ideal in certain stretches of the river due to its shallowness, occasional strong currents, and possible water quality issues, especially in regions affected by agricultural runoff. Nonetheless, during the warmer months, certain areas of the river offer a chance for cooling off and enjoying the natural beauty of the surrounding landscapes. Always check local conditions and guidelines before entering the water.
