Barn Elms Loop (Short)
3 km·beginner·short route·Loop
Downstream past Barn Elms Wetlands and back. Quieter than heading upstream. Keep an eye out for rowing eights — this stretch hosts the Boat Race course.
Tidal strategy: Best paddled on the ebb tide (downstream), turning at low water slack, then riding the flood back.
