Paddling near Inglewood, Taranaki

Inglewood sits in the shadow of Mt Taranaki in South Taranaki, surrounded by a network of rivers draining the volcanic cone and the ranges to the east. The area's paddling is defined by moving water — streams and rivers ranging from gentle flatwater runs to more technical whitewater — with the Whanganui River and the Taranaki coast accessible for longer touring and sea kayaking.
