When is the best time to canoe across Lake Cootharaba?
Plan to travel in the morning as strong winds often occur in the afternoon and can make the river and Lake Cootharaba rough to cross. Paddle close to the shore and stay clear of channel markers to allow a clear path for powerboats. Never canoe alone in case of an emergency, or tell someone of the destination and expected arrival time. Carry safety equipment including a lifejacket and communication devices, such as a Personal Locator Beacon (PLB).
