The River
As you drift upstream, taking in the lower Noosa River, cruising through Lake Cooroibah and past the fresh waters of Lake Cootharaba, you are experiencing the diverse waterscapes of the Noosa Everglades.
The tannin-stained water of the upper Noosa River, often called the "river of mirrors", is famous for its spectacular reflections. It's also ideal for paddling canoes or kayaks, birdwatching, photography and swimming. Further upstream the tree canopy closes over like a leafy tunnel.
Overhung by mangroves and tangled vine forests and filled with fish and frogs, these scenic stretches of calm water can be explored with guided river tours, aboard your own vessel or with a hire boat or canoe. Campers can also travel by 4WD to stay at Harry's Hut camping area.
