Lake Tyers has many places to launch canoes and explore.

Many people choose to launch from in front of the Tavern, essentially the old Number 1 Boat Ramp.

Other paddlers prefer the grassy banks at the western end of the Number Two Boat Ramp.

Other more secluded  places to launch canoes would be at Cherry Tree for the small river experience.  Nowa Nowa for the upper reaches of the lake and for very quiet protected areas try the little coves around Fishermans Landing or Mill Point.

Just keep in mind that Lake Tyers opens to the sea from time to time and the huge, but shortlived currents cut quite deep channels, and the water depth can change from shallow to several metres very quickly.

So what might be shallow near the bank can change to very deep quite quickly and un-predictably, so please be cautious with inexperienced or young paddlers they can cope with the risks.

Canoeing on Lake Tyers


We have four main Canoeing Trips to report back on:
 
  1. Around the Islands  (Moderate)
  2. Long Point to Princess Highway Bridge (Moderate)
  3. Number Two Boat ramp to Fishermans Landing (Beginners)
  4. Trident Arm to the Tavern (Expert)


 If you are aware of others that are an interesting experience then please email us of details and there maybe another page in it.

Fishing in canoes is becoming very popular.  It combines convenience, easy to launch and no boat licences etc etc combined with extreme manouverability and a great way to keep fit. (In any weather!!! :-)
Fishing from a canoe in the rain Lake Tyers Beach 
Canoeing is popular all over East Gippsland.  Along the waterways there are many scenic and interesting places to paddle.  If you are experienced then a burst on the waves at Eastern Beach maybe get the adrenaline rushing, otherwise for beginners and others needing a more relaxed approach should probably consider the headwaters of Lake Tyers with its winding arms sheltered from most winds.

Double Kayak Mallacoota
Just a peaceful shot of a team paddling along at Mallacoota.  Nice Kayak folks!!!

Just a report at late August 2010, some work has been done to expose the Original Boat Ramp Nos 2.  It is not accessible by cars and trailers as it is off the end of the paved car park area between the toilets and the jetty.
However is does make a good area to launch canoes where a firm footing maybe appreciated before anyone gets in.  The two poles mark the sides of it.
