Barwon River flows through Victoria to meet the sea at Barwon Heads, forming a wide estuary that separates Ocean Grove from its neighbouring town. It’s calm, tidal waters are ideal for canoeing, boating, fishing, and paddleboarding, with plenty of shady spots along the foreshore. The river connects inland wetlands and Lake Connewarre to the coast, creating an important ecological waterway and a popular local recreation spot.
