Reported walking route: Enjoy views of the Burdekin River along a path that offers a mix of natural scenery and open spaces.. Confirm leash rules with council signage on site.
Burdekin River Walk is a dog walk in Ayr, QLD, where the route offers unobstructed views of the mighty Burdekin River, connecting the towns of Ayr and Home Hill via the iconic 'Silver Link' bridge.
The walk
Underfoot it is paved pedestrian walkway.
Lead rules
Burdekin 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 Ayr for an on-lead stroll of this kind, particularly through the warmer months.
Worth knowing
The Ayr suburb guide lists what else is around for the dog.
