Avenue of Honour River Circuit

Avenue of Honour River Circuit is a dog walk in Bacchus Marsh, VIC, where the walk follows the Lerderderg River and the Avenue of Honour, which is lined with trees dedicated to fallen service people, offering both natural riverside views and historical commemoration.

The walk

Underfoot it is gravel path.

Lead rules

Moorabool Shire Council manages the route. Leash rules change along the way: some sections are lead-on, others are signed for off-lead play. The signage at each section is the authority, so treat the first visit as a scouting run and let the signs set the pace.

Carry water for the dog: drinking points along walks like this are rarely signed, so plan as if there are none. Early morning and dusk are the comfortable windows in Bacchus Marsh for an on-lead stroll of this kind, particularly through the warmer months.

Worth knowing
