The King River Paddle Trail is a beautiful 8km paddle through a sheltered flat water location with minimal currents, easy entry and exits and never more than 500m from safe landing sites making it a great paddle for all abilities and experiences. The river winds past farms and amazing granite boulders providing good photo opportunities especially on calm days when the rocks are reflected on the water surface.

Supported by great organisations

Trails are free and bring so many benefits to our community by providing opportunities to have fun, get fit, socialise, explore and challenge yourself. But they also have to be managed and maintained which only is made possible through terrific sponsors, donations and/or volunteering.
