Hike Summary
Eaton Foreshore Walk is an easy 5 kilometre return circuit following the Collie Riverbank through attractive natural salt marsh vegetation. The southern side of the walk takes in bushland with paperbarks, peppermint trees and sheoaks and follows the flow of the river.
Birdlife frequenting the area includes pelicans, kingfishers and musk ducks and there are often bottlenose dolphins in the river. Areas of interest include the Eaton Foreshore Park and the Watson Street Reserve where gazebo shelters, tables and toilets are provided. There are several elevated lookouts along the way and designated dog exercise areas where pets can be let off the lead for exercise.
