The Sepree River is a short mountain river that is sourced deep within the Kouga mountain range in South Africa. Roughly 15 kilometers from its source, it flows into the larger Kouga River. It starts up near Saptokop peak and flows east approximately 5 km before turning south for 10 or so kilometers. At the confluence with the Kouga River, it had to cut through a 30 m high section of sandstone. This small canyon is only 20 m wide. The temperature of the especially clear water averages 16 degrees Celsius annually.
Famous quotes containing the word river:
“The first man to discover Chinook salmon in the Columbia, caught 264 in a day and carried them across the river by walking on the backs of other fish. His greatest feat, however, was learning the Chinook jargon in 15 minutes from listening to salmon talk.”
—State of Oregon, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
