Canoe Touring

What could be more pleasant than silently drifting along on the tranqil waters of local rivers, lakes, and estuaries? There are a wide choice of waterways in the

Central Queensland area to explore, from small creeks to wide rivers, and coastal islands. Fitzroy Canoe Club members enjoy  regular canoe touring trips from a half day paddle to full day and weekend camps. Quiet paddles on often beautiful waterways, while observing undisturbed wildlife, is a terrific stress reliever.  Canoe touring allows you to enjoy nature with the added bonus of keeping fit.

Competition

Many Fitzroy Canoe Club paddlers compete at regular kayak marathon races throughout the State. Competition is available for all ages,

and classes of boat, with typical race distances ranging from 10km to 30km.

Training

The Fitzroy Canoe Club has qualified coaches to instruct correct paddling technique. Whether you are a competitive racing

kayaker, or enjoy recreational canoe touring, learning the correct paddling style is important.  Incorrect or poor paddling technique will cause you to tire more easily, and may lead to injuries. The Fitzroy Canoe Club holds training sessions on the river every Tuesday and Thursday from 4:30pm.
