Peppertree Walk

Peppertree Walk is a dog walk in Bacchus Marsh, VIC, where the route follows the Werribee River, offering peaceful escape with views of the river and surrounding parkland, including -year-old Pepper Tree.

The walk

Underfoot it is gravel and paved paths.

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

There is enough dog-friendly hospitality around Bacchus Marsh to turn the walk into an outing; the suburb guide sorts out the options. Avenue of Honour River Circuit is the other local walk worth comparing.
