Camping at this location is prohibited, but is available at the excellent
Laanecoorie-Loddon River Recreation Reserve just down the road.
The weir itself is fenced off, but a steep walking track at the far end of the fence will bring you down to the edge of the water among some attractive rocks and trees.
A small area of bushland alongside the weir contains a picnic table and a bench seat.
A walking track travels through this bushland back along the bank of the Loddon River (alongside Weir Road) toward the
Laanecoorie-Loddon River Recreation Reserve - a well structured campground with picnic tables, toilets, rubbish bins, a boat ramp leading into the river, a dedicated tent area, and lots of room for caravans.
Fishing
The Loddon River is home to many
varieties of fish including Redfin,
Trench, Goldfish and Carp.
The
Reservoir is also stocked regularly
with Golden Perch and occasionally
with Brown Trout.
Murray Cod can also be caught in
shallow areas. Try fishing for them at
night with surface lures.

Well worth the time to drop in and view the weir from this spot, picnic here or across the reservoir at Brownbill reserve.
