Maroochy River

The Maroochy River mirrors the mysterious mountains that surround it; Buderim Mountain, Blackall Range, Mt Ninderry and Mt Coolum provide around 450sq km of catchment to the Maroochy river.

The saltmarsh and saline herbland is home to a unique ecosystem. Here you will find rare false water rats and other natives like the swamp wallaby, brush-tailed possum and a large variety of frogs.

Calm waters at the mouth of the Maroochy River are great for boating, waterskiing and boat fishing.

There are four boat ramps: On the southern riverbank, just west of the Sunshine Motorway (adjacent David Low Way), On Eudlo Creek, in Lions Park (access off Fishermans Rd), Situated on the northern bank of the Maroochy River, at the end of Nojoor Rd and further north by David Low Bridge, in Muller Park (off David Low Way).
