Pelican Waters: Canals, Paths and Water

Pelican Waters can be explored from different perspectives: from the views of the canals at Pelican Waters Boulevard Park to the path alongside Lamerough Creek. There is also a lock for boat traffic, two connected locations of Jensen Park and a mini-golf course. This variety gives you different points of reference for planning your holiday, depending on whether you enjoy getting around on foot or by bike, are interested in waterways or would like to fit in a round of mini golf.

Canals and paths at Pelican Waters Boulevard Park

Pelican Waters Boulevard Park offers views of the canals. Walking paths connect different areas of the park. This gives the park two clear features to help you find your way: views of the canals and paths between the different areas. If you enjoy including walks in your stay, you can factor these park paths into your plans. As paths may change, it is worth checking for current information before your visit.

The Lamerough Creekside Walk

The Lamerough Creekside Walk is an easy, 1.9-kilometre one-way trail designed for walking and cycling. It follows Lamerough Creek and passes through the Lamerough Creek West Environmental Reserve. Its length, one-way route and location give the trail a clear profile: you can think of it as a walking or cycling route, using the creek and the reserve as landmarks. The activities it is intended for make it worth considering if you would like to include some exercise on foot or by bike in your outing plans.

The 1.9 kilometres refers to the length of the route, not to a specific walking time. When planning, also bear in mind that it is a one-way trail. Trail conditions may change, so check for current information before setting out. This will help you assess the route based on its actual conditions and your own plans.

Waterways and mini golf

The Pelican Waters Lock allows boat traffic between the Pelican Waters Northern Lake and the Lamerough Canal. It also regulates the water level in Pelican Waters Northern Lake. The lock therefore serves a specific function in the local waterway network: it affects both boat traffic between the two named bodies of water and the lake’s water level. For visitors interested in canals and water infrastructure, it adds another dimension to the views of the canals at Pelican Waters Boulevard Park.

Another option for an outing is Greg Norman Design Mini-Golf. The course has 18 holes, and no golfing experience is required. This may make it easier to decide if you would like to try mini golf without any prior experience of the sport. Booking arrangements may change, so check them in advance.

Parks and getting your bearings in the area

Jensen Park has two locations. The larger one is on Bells Esplanade in Pelican Waters, and the second is on June Street and Esplanade in Golden Beach. A walking path and a bridge connect the two locations. When planning your visit, the location details are important: the park includes not only the site in Pelican Waters but also a second one in Golden Beach. The two are connected by a walking path and a bridge.

The Sunshine Coast Active Travel Maps are also available for routes on foot, by bike or by bus. The maps cover the Sunshine Coast from Peregian Springs to Pelican Waters; Map 4 runs from Birtinya to Pelican Waters. The mapped routes are suggestions and may become outdated, so check the current route before using them. Along with the information about the park paths and the Lamerough Creekside Walk, the maps provide further guidance for planning your outings without combining the different routes into a single walk.

Factor outings into your holiday rental choice

When looking for a holiday rental in Pelican Waters, you can use your planned activities to help you decide.
