At only 6 kilometres in length the Patterson River is the shortest river in Victoria. Although it's not exactly a true river as it was cut out in 1878 to allow the coastal swampland to drain. Initially the drained swamp was used for farming and dairy cattle. Today the suburb of Patterson Lakes occupies much of the area along with restored wetlands, a golf course, parks, and several small marinas.
