Location
Located at A.P. Hinds Reserve in Bayswater, our extensive boat shed offers convenient access to some of Perth’s finest waterways. Members can embark on scenic journeys upstream, enjoying the tranquility of the Swan River’s natural surroundings. From native bushland to sightings of local wildlife like black swans, pelicans, and dolphins, our waters provide a serene backdrop for rowing adventures.
While upstream excursions offer calm waters and picturesque scenery, downstream routes towards Fremantle or along the Canning River present rowers with exhilarating challenges. Despite the occasional presence of powerboats, these stretches still offer ample opportunities for training and racing.
Whether you’re a novice or seasoned rower, ANA welcomes you to experience the beauty and excitement of rowing on the Swan River.
