Warren Reservoir offers two dedicated kayak and canoe launch areas, giving paddlers a chance to explore the reservoir and take in the surrounding Southern Barossa landscape from the water.

Launch areas are designed for kayaks and canoes only; sailing boats, rowing boats, and paddle boards are not permitted. Life jackets are required on the water.

An accessible kayak facility with a wheelchair ramp is located at the Tower Entrance, and a recently completed accessible walkway now connects the car park to the launch area, making gear transport to the water more straightforward.

Note that no wheelchair storage is available on or near the launch facility itself. Paddlers holding a valid fishing permit can fish from a kayak or canoe on the reservoir, which is stocked with Murray cod (catch and release), golden perch, and silver perch.

Fishing limits are detailed on the PIRSA website.
