Pipers Creek near Kundabung on the NSW Mid North Coast rises within Ballengarra State Forest and flows east-southeast before reaching its confluence with the Maria River. It descends 177 metres over its 32-kilometre course. The creek is accessed via a dirt road at the end of the hamlet of Kundabung, which sits in a quiet rural setting lined with large trees.

The paddling character of this creek varies by direction from the access point. Paddling upstream to the north is considered the more scenic option, with tall trees on both sides, cascading vines reaching to the waterline, elk ferns visible on tree trunks, and a diverse range of vegetation. The canopy and surrounding forest create an isolated, atmospheric quality, particularly under overcast conditions. Downstream, the creek connects to the Maria River, and this section also links to Connection Creek and the Upper Maria River, offering options for longer multi-waterway routes.

The creek is a popular destination for the Port Macquarie Hastings Canoe Club, and the access point at Kundabung includes space for camping, which means the put-in area can be occupied by other users. Once on the water, paddlers typically have the creek to themselves. The surrounding landscape includes remnants of historical lime kilns associated with convict-era industry, and heritage tours of these kilns are occasionally conducted by NSW National Parks and Wildlife.

The creek is also noted in the context of the NSW Mid North Coast paddling trail on Global Paddler, suggesting it is a recognised destination along that regional paddling network. No specific restrictions on paddling apply.
