Canoeing on the Ovens River at Bundalong.

We will paddle Saturday with a shorter paddle on Sunday for those interested  

Please contact Jan Douglas 0428334193 if you have any questions or if you haven't canoed with us before.

Cost of canoe, pfd and paddle hire for the weekend to be confirmed for this year - and will be hired from Murray River Canoe Hire but you can also bring your own gear. If in doubt, our preference is for you to hire as we know Dave's boats are safe and stable in the Ovens and the Murray Rivers.

The 15km loop paddle out and back from 2016 campsite has traditionally been paddled on this weekend and may still be on offer depending on enthusiasm.

Also, we thought to venture upstream on the Ovens this year to explore the myriad of channels - other options may be suggested.
