Kayaking Coila Lake at Tuross Head

If you’re looking for a relaxing way to explore the natural beauty of Tuross Head, kayaking on Coila Lake is a must-do experience during your stay.

A Paddle for Everyone

Coila Lake offers a peaceful and scenic paddle suitable for all skill levels. You can choose a short, easy outing close to shore, or take on the full 18.5km loop around the lake. For those wanting a little more adventure, paddle under the highway bridge and explore the calm waters of Coila Creek at the northern end.

Calm Waters & Coastal Views

One of the best things about kayaking here is the flexibility. On windy days, simply stick to the sheltered edges of the lake where the water remains calm and easy to navigate. Along the way, you’ll enjoy beautiful coastal scenery, birdlife, and that quiet sense of escape Tuross is known for.

Easy Access & Facilities

Launching your kayak couldn’t be easier. A shallow, beginner-friendly entry point is located opposite the Tuross Sport and Recreation Centre on Hector McWilliam Drive.

You’ll find convenient parking, as well as picnic and barbecue facilities, a playground, and toilets—perfect for a full day out.

Stay Close to the Water

When you stay at Tuross Beach Cabins & Campsites, you’re just minutes away from Coila Lake. Whether it’s a sunrise paddle or a lazy afternoon on the water, kayaking here is one of the simplest and most rewarding ways to experience the area.
