For years I've kayaked up the Canning River from Riverton Canoe Launch. The river runs through about 5km of beautiful bushland, full of birdlife. The Kent Street Weir Park has a cafe at the Weir crossover bridge. In a bushland surround, good parking if you drive (Fern Road turn left, then turn left again on to Kent Street). The Cafe is dog friendly, and is a good source of basic cafe food and coffee. The cafe is a centre for the Park area with people coming from walking around the park, both sides of the Canning River.

Overall, great for my dog to...
