Eudlo Creek
Eudlo Creek is a quiet and calm tributary of the Maroochy River, tucked behind Maroochydore. It travels past a number of conservation areas and provides multiple wildlife view opportunities. Lined by woodlands, you can easily forget you are a stone throw away from one of the largest built-up areas of the coast.
What to expect
Calm paddle through wooded areas. Once past the tidal areas, expect a small creek with plenty of tree hazards.
Logistics
Maroochy Lions Park Boat Ramp on Fishermans Road is the best put-in spot, although this can be busy with the farmers markets on Sundays. Bradman Avenue Boat Ramp is also close to the creek entrance. All are operated by Sunshine Coast Council.
Refer to the Distance Table and the Interactive Map for additional details.
Tides
There is minimal tidal influence for most trips, though high tide will allow exploration further up the creek.
Tidal info for Eudlo Creek Entrance
