Although the river is quite wide here it is only normally navigable by canoes and rowing boats and the like. Attempts to restore full navigation so that motor boats & canal boats can get here has been fiercely resisted. They can only go just slightly upstream of Stourport-on-Severn. The last lock on the river is downstream of that town.
