The Blueway has camping areas next to the river, as well as museums, restaurants, activities, entertainment, and natural attractions.
From there, the Blueway meanders its way to quieter places like Williams Island State Archaeological Park.
Williams Island divides the river channel with a 450-acre (1.8 km2) tract of land inhabited only by wildlife.
The land provides habitats for more than a thousand varieties of plants, ferns, trees, grasses and flowers as well as a wildlife population.
Dozens of archaeological sites bear evidence of man's presence in the Gorge for at least 10,000 years.
