A few fast stretches and shoal areas exist but are not hazardous to recreational use. The river is not very wide and does not normally have a large flow. Several stretches are too shallow for recreational use at normal water levels. When rainfall is plentiful, this stretch of the Bosque is noted as an excellent recreational waterway that has few hazards. SH 6 crossing - 2 miles west of Iredell.
