LAKE ESCAPADES is based in Boreen Point, a small village on the shores of Lake Cootharaba, surrounded by national parks and state forests.  The Lake is part of the Noosa River waterway system, in South-East Queensland, Australia, and is separated from the ocean to the east by a narrow stretch of the Great Sandy National Park.

We do not operate from a single general-purpose office or location.  Instead, we will meet you at one of several locations in or around Boreen Point depending on what you want to do.  It is for this reason that it is always best to contact us in advance if at all possible to discuss what you'd like to do and to make a booking.  You are welcome to turn up without a booking but we can not always guarantee availability.

You may find us as follows. 

​

• FOR PADDLE'N PICNIC CASUAL HIRES OF CANOES, KAYAKS & SUPs ON LAKE COOTHARABA - We operate from a designated area on the foreshores of Lake Cootharaba about 50m south of the Coffee Tribe Cafe and the Lake Cootharaba Sailing Club (yellow marker).  You will find our sign in the parkland area opposite 16 Boreen Parade, Boreen Point.  Free all-day parking is available.
   

• FOR EXPLORING THE  NOOSA EVERGLADES BY CANOE OR KAYAK - At your choice, launches for both day and overnight trips can be either from the foreshore area at Boreen Point (yellow marker) or the public canoe launch ramp at Elanda Point (blue marker) with its associated carpark (pink marker).  The latter location is the safest option as this minimises the paddling distance required across Lake Cootharaba to reach the start of the Everglades area.  For launches at Elanda Point you collect your canoe or kayak from us at 81 Lake Flat Road, Boreen Point (red marker) and have the option of transporting your boat to the launching ramp yourself (you would need roof racks on your vehicle or you may borrow our small trailer for free) or at your request we may be able to arrange transport for you - please make contact as below to discuss the details with us.  Free all-day and overnight parking is available at the Elanda Point launch area.
   

• IF PICKING UP A CANOE OR KAYAK - And transporting it yourself away from this area, such as to Harrys Hut or the Mary River, we will normally meet you beside the group of four letterboxes located at 81 Lake Flat Road, Boreen Point (red marker)
