The North Maroochy River is famous for its excellent kayaking, and you can start your adventure right by the wharf. Prepare for breathtaking sights on your kayak or canoe as you explore the lengths of the river. Fishing is a popular pastime since the river is home to a thriving wild bass population and mangrove jack in the warmer months. Before you plan your fishing trip, keep in mind that from June 1st to August 31st, the fishing season for bass is closed to allow the fish to breed.
