A great quite paddle as the sand bars at the mouth of the creek tend to block most larger boats, great fishing abounds.

SUITABILITY
Paddlers with a bit of experience.

HIGHLIGHTS
This is a great paddle with low traffic and some interesting wildlife on all sides. Watch the tides when crossing the sand bars at the mouth of the creek or you can end up knee deep in mud pulling your boat if you get caught by low water. You can get the best of the paddle with a shorter distance by putting in at the campground and heading out for an hour or two. Keep your eyes peeled for the sea eagles that frequent this area.

AFTERWARDS
Camp at the campground to make a full experience out of the weekend, with great fishing at dawn and dusk.

HOW TO GET THERE
To the starting point: Take the Roys Road exit off M1 and turn east onto Roys Road. Heading from Caloundra turn left at the overpass. If you are heading from Caboolture turn right at the overpass to head East. About 500 metres along this road, turn right into the continuation of Roys Road. AFollow the road until you get to the boat ramp at the end of the road.

To the end point. This is mapped as a one way route there and back but you could drop a car at the campground to paddle it one way.
