JAMIESON RIVER

The Jamieson River is our natural treasure. The ideal spot to go for a swim, float down on a tube, have a kayaking adventure, go fishing, or just to sit back unwind and enjoy the serenity.

The Big Rock just outside the park is where the big kids jump off. But there are plenty shallow places for the little ones to have a splash. We happily assist in pointing you in the right direction.
