Situated in the Crawford River valley near Hotspur, about 45 minutes north of Portland, Crawford River Regional Park offers fine views of riverside and valley vegetation and a variety of interesting activities. The Park is 2463 hectares in size.

Things to Do

• Pleasure driving along 'The Boulevard', which follows the northern bank of the river, through forests of Brown Stringybark, Manna Gum and lush tree-fern lined gullies, is a beautiful way to discover the Park.
• Camping at Hiscocks Crossing and picnicking along 'The Boulevard' is popular.
• Fishing is challenging, with species such as Redfin and Rainbow Trout to be caught. Freshwater crayfish are also found in the river.
• Bushwalking through the Park is relaxing and enjoyable. There are numerous bird species to view and vegetation types to discover. A return 2.5 km nature trail from the Hiscocks Crossing camping area takes you along the river's edge through lush vegetation and then higher up into wet and dry sclerophyll forests.
• Nature study in the variety of habitats makes the area valuable for students and photography enthusiasts alike. A quiet observer can discover a range of animals and botanists can enjoy the floristic diversity of the region.
