Paddling near Maitland, New South Wales
Maitland sits on the Hunter River in the Hunter Valley of New South Wales, with the river running directly through the city and connecting downstream to Raymond Terrace and upstream past the historic village of Morpeth. The Hunter is the centrepiece of local paddling, a Grade I flatwater run suited to kayaks, canoes and SUP boards, with the Paterson River nearby adding another quiet waterway to explore.
