Number 8



The Lea (the home run)

This river could be a lot higher up or a lot further down the list, it all depends. This is the ultra-classic Tasmanian creek that gets run more than any other in the state. It features stunning scenery, clear water and fantastic rapids, with the best and biggest ones having smooth bed rock and soft pools to land in.

The Lea is easily accessible, has a dependable flow, fun grade 3+ and 4 rapids and is open to a wide variety of paddlers. You can scrape down with barely any flow, or survive your way down the solid class 5 at super high flows and everything in between. Plus, you can get from the first solid drop to the lake in a bit over 10 minutes if you’re participating in the Lea Race!
Nothing more to be said really.
