The route encompasses some interesting lake and river(Sand River) scenery. Water levels can fluctuate alongthis route. Be aware that wind and wave conditions onlarge lakes, such as Gamitagama and Old Woman canpose problems.This is the recommended route to Old Woman Lake.The former route from Mijinemungshing Lake throughMirimoki to Old Woman is impassible due to low waterlevels.
