Maroochy River Canoe Trail: Eudlo Creek Paddle

Highlights

Explore Eudlo Creek (a side estuary off Maroochy River) and on a calm day see beautiful mirror reflections of the mangrove-lined creek. This is a tidal creek so be mindful of low tide. Expect to see a wide range of sea birds including egrets and other waders.

Fishermans Road was once the landing place for cargo-laden steamships and schooners from Brisbane in the 1880s. It is close to the Sunshine Coast Paddlesports Club (107 Fishermans Road).
