The crystal-clear water flows through natural rock formations, while ancient trees grow on the islands. Visitors can enjoy sunset views, white-water rafting during summer, and kayaking activities.

The area showcases nature's artistry with uniquely shaped rocks and flowing patterns created by the river current. Campers must bring all food, water, and supplies as no facilities are available on-site.
