Paddling near New Norfolk, Tasmania
New Norfolk sits in the Derwent Valley, roughly 37 km northwest of Hobart, where the River Derwent winds between mountain cliffs and green pastures. The river is the centrepiece of local paddling — calm enough for beginner SUP and kayak lessons, yet with sections of moving water that draw more experienced paddlers. Day tours also reach the Huon River and Lake Pedder in the Southwest National Park.
