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.

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
