🌿 Discover the Campaspe River 🌿

Sit, walk, talk, ride, fish, dream, watch, canoe, kayak, ride, connect with nature and enjoy one of Rochester's most loved outdoor spaces.

Keep an eye out for some of the river's smallest residents too! The Campaspe River is home to squirrel gliders, sugar gliders and feather tail gliders. See how many nesting boxes you can spot along the river trail.

So pack a picnic, grab your camera and spend some time exploring the natural beauty right here in Rochy.
