The YMCA Paddle Hub is Canberra’s first stand up paddle board and kayak hire service, and is located on the beautiful Lake Burley Griffin at Yarralumla Bay. There really is no better spot to be in Canberra with great views of the lake and Black Mountain Tower.

Have you ever wanted to try kayaking or stand up paddle boarding? Or maybe you just enjoy being out on the lake? Put together a group of 10 people or more, and join us on the lovely Lake Burley Griffin for a paddle!

We cater to groups and events, birthday parties, Christmas parties and corporate events.

The Paddle Hub is a seasonal service, only available for group bookings, from October through to April.
