About The Canoe Trail Friends

The Canoe Trail Friends of Mandurah and Pinjarra Inc, a ‘paddlers alliance’, have developed a series of seven canoe trail guides to the Peel Region’s rivers and waterways and two associated companion guides providing details of the region’s natural and human history. These guides and companions are available free of charge to local residents of and visitors to our region through local visitor centres and businesses.

. tree plantings and clean-ups along our rivers and waterways,

. incorporation of canoe trails in the proposed Peel Regional Park,

. development of canoe launch points to provide better access to our rivers and waterways,
