Kayaking the Leven Canyon

Coast to Cradle Wild Country

The Leven River runs for close to 100 kilometres from the highlands near Loongana to the sea at Ulverstone.

Along the way it changes character many times. In the upper reaches, a deep, wild gorge holds almost continuous rapids that test the most experienced paddlers. Through Gunns Plains the river eases into gentler whitewater, and near the coast it opens out into long, broad stretches of calm water.

Kayaking the Leven Canyon on Tasmania's Leven River is a Class 5 whitewater run featuring steep bedrock rapids, vertical limestone walls, and major waterfalls that should only be attempted by experienced whitewater kayakers.
