Description
The Avon River winds majestically through the 5700 ha of the Avon Mt Heddrick Scenic Reserve. Over time, the river has sculpted beautiful gorges from the surrounding landscape.
Complementing this is dry open forest with a diversity of wildflowers as well as rocky escarpments and several high peaks with sweeping views of the surrounding area.
This walk meanders along the Avon River, encompassing a number of swimming holes and The Channel. The walk is best completed over two days, retracing your route on the second day. Visitors in 2WD vehicles are advised to start the walk from either the Channel Overlook or Dermody?s Camp.
Please contact Department of Environment and Primary Industries for more information on maps and directions. Further information from a local office should be sought before embarking on any of the walks.
