RIVER

The Lea is continuous creeking, with the 2 major grade 4 rapids being "Screaming Plastic Surgeons" and "Proctologists Twist".

Location
The Lea River is located in Tasmaina's Northwest, nestled below Cradle Mountain near Moina.
The river is approximately 17 km South of Wilmot on Cradle Mountain Rd (C132), turn right onto Moina Rd. Follow this until you cross Ti Tree Creek and come to a locked gate, park near here. To the left of the gate is a vehicle track leading into a forested block with a gate. Follow this track past the gate (it is not possible to drive as there are logs over the road), and up through the forest. Soon you will come to a logged / plantation area and the main logging road. Turn left and follow this road down the hill for a couple of hundred meters where a vehicle track leaves it and enters the forest on the right. Turn right and follow this track to the river.
(This is a pretty big hike) The map you will require if unfamiliar with the area is "Forth 1:100 000". The take out area is right near your car but, you are not. You have to paddle around the edge of Lake Gardiner, to get back to the car, it about 2 Kms.
