Experience Lakes Entrance from water level: stand‑up paddleboarding lets you slip across glassy channels toward the Footbridge’s quieter reaches or out to Flagstaff Jetty for views of the Entrance. Hires can be taken to alternate quiet sections of the lake, and come with a personal flotation device and a dry pouch to keep essentials safe.

THE ROUTE

Footbridge: a quieter lagoon to explore

Paddle toward the Footbridge when you want a more secluded stretch of water—an easy option for steady cruising and spotting shoreline life away from the entrance channel.

THE VIEW

Flagstaff Jetty and the Entrance channel

Head toward Flagstaff Jetty to take in sweeping views of the Entrance channel, where the lake opens up and the outlook changes from sheltered lagoon to shoreline panorama.

THE GEAR

Ready‑to‑go hires with safety kit included

All hires include a personal flotation device per person and a dry pouch for your phone; Party SUPs come with four paddles at the listed price, with extra paddles available for an additional fee.

What the day feels like

What the day feels like

Glide out from the launch and choose your rhythm: a calm, restorative paddle toward the Footbridge’s quiet water, or a longer run toward Flagstaff Jetty and the entrance vistas. The hires let you set the pace—explore locally or take boards in your vehicle to other sheltered bays—and include basic safety kit so you can focus on the water and the view.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this is for — and who should choose another option:

1
Active FamiliesSuitable for families with swimmers; the hires are straightforward and include PFDs for each person, making them a good option for a day of gentle paddling together.
2
Solo Adventurers & Day TrippersIdeal for solo paddlers who want flexible time on the water and the option to take boards to other quiet lake sections in your vehicle.
3
Party GroupsParty SUPs are catered for — four paddles are included at the listed price (extra paddles available for a fee) — making short group outings easy to organize.
4
Non‑swimmers or beginnersNot ideal unless you book an instructed option; swimming ability is required for standard SUP hire — if you cannot swim, book a SUP lesson, SUP tour, or kayaking instead.
