Has tourism potential but unfortunately, it's not developed like that. The river area is littered with dirt which makes it a real ugly sight. People cross to the other side of the river with canoe boats and the boat handlers are really nice. While on the canoe crossing the river, you'll appreciate the beauty of nature as seen in how the river flows graciously. You also get to watch some speed boats as they roam fast in river.

It's very busy Area that is always full with people especially traveler's, and it's has Canoe's Boards that are shipping good's and taking people to cross the river
