Lake Tyers has many places to launch canoes and explore.

The Trident Arm on Lake Tyers is along the main Nowa Nowa Arm and is a popular fishing location for people with boats, but also a popular spot with campers.

This is not a trip for beginners and these people had the right approach travelling as a group and many of the paddlers were seasoned canoeists.

The trip was timed at about an hour and half paddle one way, and if anyone on the trip lreads this and would like to add some more please email me.

The open waters of the Lake are to the south of this point so take care if an onshore (southerly) breeze is strong.

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.

Canoeing on Lake Tyers

Trident Arm to the Tavern (and back!)

This trip information was gathered by some paddlers who were camping at Trident Arm and were into canoeing. As can be seen from the photos there were some serious paddlers here.

Canoes at Lake Tyers Beach

The trip down from the Trident Arm to the car park in front of the Tavern took about 90mins of unrushed paddling. The paddlers were very comfortable with this trip having recently competed in a community paddling event late last year. The time was Easter 2011 and the winds were a light southerly. They were about have the wind at their backs on the paddle home, very nice!
