Stretching over 195 kilometers through the rugged landscapes of northeastern New South Wales, the Clarence Canoe & Kayak Trail offers paddlers an unrivaled glimpse into Australia’s wild river country. This is the longest mapped whitewater trail in the country, meandering from the pristine waters within Nymboi-Binderay National Park down to the peaceful township of Copmanhurst. A trip here promises a rich blend of thrilling rapids, lush native bushland, and exclusive access to stretches of river that few get to experience.
Exodus Adventures provides a comprehensive shuttle and equipment hire service that streamlines your journey along this iconic trail.
