Accsess:
Put in upper: follow the minor road off the A713 at Meadowhead till you reach a gated bridge to put in. If your feeling adventrous continue on the forest track to the next bridge.
Take out: At A713 1km noth of Carsphairn, there a layby to park in.
Description: Allthoug best with high water it can be run with quite low water. The run is never dificulte but is always intresting. Half way down water is divrted at dam to Drumjohn where it's pumped up to Loch Doon. Despite this it's still runnable below the dam. with big flows the last 2km is fantastic but could be a hand full for some paddlers attrced to a run at this grade. It is easy to scout the last sections from the take out before running if your unsure.
