Is this walk accessible for me?
This walk is accessible by foot, wheelchair or other mobility aids.

What can I see?
You will see the winding waterway, large trees, a weir, waterbirds, a sculpture park and nearby farms.

How accessible is the path?
There are direction signs. The area is well maintained.

The path is sealed, smooth, wide and gently undulating. There are no steps. One small gully has a nonslip plastic boardwalk with modest slopes to it. Our push wheelchair user managed this alone, but assistance may be required by others.

A wheelchair can turn around and travel side-by-side.

Car parks and local streets provide pick up or drop of options for shorter routes. Mobile phone coverage is good.

Jennings Street dead end connects northern and southern ends of the path. There is no pedestrian crossing.

Path edges meet grass and some dirt patches which may be uneven.

Between the outdoor gym and the weir is a gravel driveway to the river that crosses the walking path. It has no signs.

This riverside walking path may be subject to flooding.

Dogs must be on a leash.

Cyclists may share paths.

Rest areas
There are shady trees. Otherwise, the path is exposed to the weather. An accessible BBQ shelter is provided at Quarry Reserve.

Seating and roll under picnic tables on concrete pads are directly connected to the path. Most have space for mobility aid parking beside them.

A wheelchair accessible viewing / fishing platform and outdoor gym are at the weir. Picnic tables and an accessible drinking water fountain are available. Bins are provided.

There are interesting and accessible signs.

Toilets
Accessible toilets are available at the Kyneton Community Park (1 kilometre away).

Dogs
Dogs must be on leash.

Getting there
There is no public transport. 3 car parks have direct walking path access.

1. Campaspe Place by the river (popular for fishing) on a gravel section of road surrounded by grass.

2. Quarry Reserve gravel car park on the other side of Piper St bridge. Cars parked across the shelter entrance path can block access. If so, the walking path is across grass.

3. The weir has 1 accessible space with protected side space. It has a sealed, firm, wide surface.
