Lake Dunethin, Pearce Drive

Lake Dunethin, accessed via Pearce Drive off Yandina Bli Bli Road on the Sunshine Coast, sits alongside the Maroochy River and serves as the upper entry point for the Maroochy River Canoe Trail.

A public boat ramp provides launching access, and the lake's shallow waters make it a popular spot for beginner paddlers. From here, the river connects to Yandina upriver and Cotton Tree downriver.

The lake also offers good fishing along its mangroved banks, with mangrove jack, bream, and flathead among the target species. A notable pontoon extends over the water, providing views across the lake.

Parking is available along Lake Dunethin Road near the adjacent scout camp.
