Highlights
Outing Highlights
A forested 45-minute paddle out of town
The outing is a self-guided lake paddle that winds away from the centre of Lakes Entrance along the North Arm, moving from town into quieter forested stretches of water on the way to the winery.
Wyanga Park Winery lunch included
At the journey’s midpoint paddlers stop at Wyanga Park Winery where a delicious meal per person is included in the package before the return paddle.
A compact day outing: 45 minutes each way
Designed as a half-day escape, expect roughly 45 minutes of paddling each way within an overall four-hour return trip—enough time on the water to settle into the rhythm of the lake before lunch.
What the day feels like
How the day unfolds on the water
This is a self-guided paddle that begins in Lakes Entrance and carries you along the lake’s North Arm toward Wyanga Park Winery. The rhythm is easy: a steady 45-minute paddle through quieter, forest-lined sections of the lake, a rewarded stop ashore for a winery meal, then a return to town to complete the four-hour round trip.
