For paddlers, the Waterway offers a mix of calm, scenic stretches as well as occasional bridges and locks to navigate. Motorized boaters should be aware of the Waterway's 8 mph speed limit. Overall, Rowell Cove provides a convenient access point to experience the recreational opportunities of this major inland river system.
