Wikiloc - Nudgee Creekdave_50013dave_50013 on WikilocNudgee Creek on WikilocNudgee CreekA short easy paddle with changing scenery. This creek is heavily affected by the tide, so recommended to paddle a couple of hours either side of high tide.
Enter at the ramp at the end of O'Quinn Street near Nudgee Beach. Recommended to paddle upstream first (and save the best til last). Upstream sees you passing river front homes and mangroves. At high tide there are some fun little offshoots into the mangroves to be explored. Paddle until you reach a point where there are trees across the river blocking you from going any further (it is a bit of fun navigating the narrowing section up until that point though). Once at that point, turn around and head back past where you entered and continue to the river mouth. This section sees you passing alongside the Nudgee Wetlands boardwalk and out to the bird watching hut. Then return to the start point.
Note that the upstream section of the river hugs the road at times, which can be a little loud and detracts from the natural beauty somewhat, but it is still an enjoyable paddle.
Other options include: portage across the plain near the end of Nudgee Creek (upstream) over into Nundah Creek to extend your paddle. It is relatively easy to spot the portage location - on your right as you head upstream and the only real clearing on the right during the paddle upstream. Be aware of tides though or have a second vehicle at Shorncliffe to finish there.A short easy paddle with changing scenery.
