Paddling near Dubbo, New South Wales
Dubbo sits on the Macquarie River in the central-western tablelands of New South Wales, and that river is the heart of local paddling. The Macquarie River Canoe & Kayak Trail runs through the city, and the 150 km stretch from Wellington through Dubbo to Narromine is one of the most popular multi-day paddle routes in inland NSW. Lake Burrendong, roughly an hour from Dubbo, adds flatwater options for kayaking and other water sports.
