Koondrook All Abilities Canoe Trail & Kayak Launcher
Koondrook All Abilities Canoe Trail & Kayak Launcher
Located on Gunbower Creek off Koondrook Track, this purpose-built facility serves as the starting point for the Gunbower Island Canoe Trail.
The all-abilities canoe launcher — installed in 2020 — features a safe, stable platform that allows paddlers of all ages, abilities, and experience levels to enter and exit the water with ease.
From here, the canoe trail winds approximately five kilometres through the wetlands of Gunbower State Forest, a Ramsar-listed wetland of international significance.
Yellow-numbered floating buoys mark the return route, which takes around two hours at a relaxed pace. Paddlers can expect to encounter waterbirds, turtles, azure kingfishers, and other wildlife along the way.
Note that creek levels may be too low for paddling between May and August, and the access road can become difficult in wet weather. No toilet facilities are available at the launch site; the nearest public toilets are in Koondrook township.
