An easy 7km paddle around the canals of Twin Waters.

SUITABILITY
Suitable for paddlers of all age groups and abilities. The canals are usually calm, although the main section can be choppy in windy weather.

HIGHLIGHTS
Explore the vast canal system of Twin Waters and see some truly magnificent waterfront homes on your journey. There are multiple points to pull up and take a break from paddling. Small parks and playgrounds are scattered along the foreshore areas – some have sandy beaches, drinking taps and BBQ facilities.
If you plan to do the full 7km circuit then give yourself at least 2 hours and try not to miss the longest, tranquil leg of the trail which flows past Ocean Road and under the bridge into Pacific Paradise and the back of Twin Waters Golf Club. This section is fringed by bushland which is home to many water birds.
The starting point on Lake View Drive also has a tap to wash down when you return to your car.

AFTERWARDS
You are not far from the Twin Waters Novotel Resort or Shopping Village on Ocean Drive. Here you will find a café and restaurant.
Bill Kear Waterway is another paddle option nearby or head to Mudjimba Beach for a dip in the ocean as swimming in the canals is not advised.

HOW TO GET THERE
To the starting point: The circuit can be accessed from multiple locations depending on where you want to park. Turn off David Low Way into the residential area off Ocean Drive and take a left turn onto Twin Waters Drive. Head straight down to the bridge and turn left onto Lake View Drive. Parking is provided off road near a park. There are steps leading down to the water.

To the end point: The end point is the same as the starting point.
