Kayaking on Tuross Lake
Kayaking on Tuross Lake is one of the best ways to experience the natural beauty of the area during your stay. With calm waters, winding estuaries, and small islands to explore, it’s perfect for paddlers of all skill levels.
Launch from Nelson Parade near O’Brien’s Boatshed, where you can also hire kayaks, and set off on anything from a short, relaxing paddle to an 18km round trip around Horse Island and beyond.
As you glide across the lake, keep an eye out for local wildlife—birdlife is abundant, and you might even spot kangaroos or emus along the shoreline. There are also plenty of great stopping points, with waterfront cafés, picnic areas, and facilities nearby.
It’s an easy, peaceful adventure that perfectly captures the laid-back coastal lifestyle of Tuross Head.
