PROPERTY DATA LOCATION The Sinks Canyon Retreat is situated on the world renowned Po Po Agie River. (pronounced “po po shah”) The property is approx. ¾ of a mile from the famous “Rise” of the “Sinks”. The canyon is named such as the river flows into an underground limestone cavern at the “Sinks”, and emerges ¼ mile down the canyon in a pool named the “Rise”. The exact route of the underground passage is unknown, and dye tests have shown that the water takes over 2 hours to make the ¼ mile journey between the “Sinks” and the “Rise”.
