The Final stage of the trail map starts from Oddamawavi Bridge and is approximately 3.75 kilometers long. Similar to the previous stage, this section also highlights village culture, and houses, fish production sites and dried-fish factories can be observed along the bank as you begin paddling.
At the beginning of this stage, the river is quite wide; however, it gradually narrows, offering a panoramic view at the end along with the unique geomorphology of the area with lush vegetation rich in biodiversity.
Towards the middle section of this stage, the trail transforms into green deltas, which provide a scenic experience to the visitor, a contrast from the busy, noisy village atmosphere. Paddling along the this section , visitors may observe Dimbulagala Temple Rock in the distance.
Towards the end of the trail, visitors may experience decreasing depth, which increases the difficulty of moving forward, as mud and dense mats of filamentous algae begin to appear.
At the final stretch of the trail, visitors may observe herds of wild buffaloes in river islands and floodplains structures - bathing, feeding, and curiously watching as paddlers pass through. Beyond this islet point, movement becomes more challenging as kayaks and paddles may entangle with excessive algae which also create shallowness in the trail. Therefore paddlers are encouraged to proceed with caution.
