The river can be reached by following Meringtons Walk on the southern side of the campground. This walk crosses the river and continues onto the grave of Charles Brown, a destitute gold miner who was buried in the bush to save money after his death in 1882. The campground is very popular over summer and makes an excellent overnight stop for those following the Aberfeldy Backroad Tour.
