The Horton River is a clear, swift-flowing river that gets more voluminous and murkier as it heads towards the coastline. There are a few whitewater challenges on the Horton, most of which occur in the canyon area. Three outstanding features characterize the Horton River, the abundance and variety of wildlife, the amazing diversity of the scenery and clear, swift-flowing waters that are generally easy to navigate.
