Dunethin Rock Scout Campsite & Water Activity Centre
Dunethin Rock Scout Campsite & Water Activity Centre
Dunethin Rock Scout Campsite & Water Activity Centre is a four-hectare Scout Queensland facility located at Lake Dunethin Road, Maroochy River, about seven kilometres east of Yandina on the Sunshine Coast.
The grounds encompass open camping and activity areas set within natural eucalyptus bushland, with the Maroochy River and Lake Dunethin both a short walk away.
The site takes its name from an Aboriginal phrase meaning "place of swimming trees," a nod to the 1860s timber-logging era when logs were floated down the Maroochy River and transferred onto boats bound for Brisbane sawmills.
A 15-minute bush walk leads to Dunethin Rock itself, which offers panoramic views and sits along the Maroochy River Paddler's Trail. A Heritage Pathway features 15 mosaics celebrating 100 years of Scouting history.
Activities include camping, canoeing and kayaking, rafting, fishing, swimming, and bushwalking.
The site sits at the upper reach of the approximately 30-kilometre Maroochy River Canoe Trail, with Lake Dunethin serving as a main entry point offering disability access.
