KING RIVER - UPPER SECTION

Pineapple Flat to William Hovell

At Around 1.4m , this section is reminiscent of Big River, but us a little more technical, as there are a few more geological features forming drops and holes. Its generally Grade 2/3, but has been said that at higher water, it is a very committing Grade 4. 

There is no access after leaving pineapple flat, so be prepared.  A walk out would be very tough. In addition the car shuttle is long, so if you can organize a driver it makes for a shorter day. 4WD is recommended. 1.2 would be the absolute minimum level, 1.3 and above would be better. 1.8 and above its hang on.
