Lake Kawana Rowing Loop

A leisurely trail along the Lake Kawana foreshore, ending at the newly established Bokarina Beach precinct.

This walk suits beginners, families and those looking for accessible trail options.

Starting outside the Sunshine Coast Stadium, this trail straddles Lake Kawana where local rowing and remote yachting activities can be viewed. There are several rest areas along the way, complete with BBQ facilities and amenities. The spacious, sealed path allows for comfortable walking, cycling, and scooting.

Approximately 300m along the trail is the Eastbank Edible Garden, which is open for the community to enter and wander through at their leisure.

Finally, the trail concludes at the Bokarina Beach precinct where a number of cafés conveniently sit across from the large multi-functional park, including a play space and plaza (i.e picnic, shelters and variety of seating areas). Grab a coffee and watch the kids enjoy the many new playground areas and elements. Why not continue down to Bokarina Beach and check out one of the Sunshine Coast’s best hidden surf spots?
