Stretching over 195 kilometers from Nymboi-Binderay National Park to the quaint riverside township of Copmanhurst, the Clarence Canoe & Kayak Trail stands as Australia’s longest mapped whitewater trail. This rarely trodden waterway offers paddlers an expansive range of dynamic river conditions, from quiet pools to thrilling rapids. Situated in the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales, the trail winds through dense forested valleys, imposing rocky gorges, and vibrant river flats, providing a truly immersive outdoor experience.
