Flowing through Nymboi-Binderay National Park from Platypus Flat to The Junction confluence with the Little Nymboida River, there is a 27-kilometre (17 mi) section of rapid and pool sequences, making this a popular kayaking and white water rafting venue. Located 13 kilometres (8.1 mi) from the source is Rob Roys Falls, a 90-metre (300 ft) cascade while further down river lies The Silent Pool, a geological mystery where the river goes underground via a fault line and returns under a large pool.[citation needed]
The river is also a stronghold for the endangered Eastern Freshwater cod where it is quite common in several reaches.
Until 2012 waters released from the hydro-electric power station on the Nymboida River created one of Australia's most difficult canoe courses and as such was the site of many kayaking and canoeing competitions. Several companies offer organised rafting trips on the river.[4]
