The Spit Walking Trail

For those craving a bit more adventure, The Spit Walking Trail offers a unique and rewarding journey along a natural sand dune skirting the edge of the spectacular Winton Swamp. This 13 kilometre return trail (graded medium) is perfect for more experienced walkers looking to immerse themselves in untouched wilderness.

As you follow the ridge, you'll be treated to sweeping views of the wetlands and the chance to encounter a rich variety of wildlife, particularly birdlife. Bring your binoculars and keep your eyes on the skies, you might just spot the majestic White-bellied Sea Eagle soaring overhead.

While the trail isn't clearly marked, the sense of discovery makes this walk all the more exciting. You'll feel a world away as you walk in quiet solitude, surrounded by the sounds of nature and the beauty of one of Victoria's most fascinating wetland ecosystems.

Important note: If you pass through any gates along the way, please leave them as you found them—closed if closed, open if open.

Adventure awaits on The Spit, a hidden gem for those willing to wander off the beaten path.
