Forestry NSW has a great Forest Drive which leaves the Cobb Highway (a large sign has been erected) and follows Coolamon Road and Porters Creek Road to the Murray. The drive is then along a stretch of the Murray that has no banks (because the river is only a few thousand years old) back to Poverty Point Road. Alternatively continue on Narrows Road through Tarragon Lodge to the sealed Picnic Point Road. A triangle makes a great bush walk starting and ending at Poverty Point Picnic Ground or at Kings Log Landing, but take a track on the north side of Warwick Creek and parallel to Poverty Point Road to avoid the dust from passing traffic; Cross Warwick Creek and follow Plains Road from Poverty Point Road to Porters Creek Road; and take the rarely-used Kings Landing Track from Porters Creek Road to Kings Log Landing to avoid traffic and to shorten the distance. Kings Log landing is a good camping spot but there are no facilities other than a table and fireplace. Follow the Murray back to the starting place.
From a barrier which prevents traffic from continuing south along Narrows Road, it is possible to walk south along the Murray to Moira Lake. At the end of the road, a narrow track through reeds away from the river reveals a great view of Moira Lake. If ever an old bridge over Moira Creek is replaced, it will be possible to walk all the way to Barmah Town. Allow a full day for this 15km walk
