Paddling near Bendigo, Victoria


Bendigo sits in the Victorian Goldfields, a region of inland rivers, reservoirs and wetlands that suit flatwater paddling year-round. The Loddon Valley to the west is the area's paddling heartland, with purpose-built canoe trails on Serpentine Creek and the Loddon River, while Lake Eppalock, Laanecoorie Reservoir and Cairn Curran Reservoir draw kayakers after open water. Goldfields Paddlers, the only paddling club in Central Victoria, is based at Crusoe Reservoir in Bendigo itself.
