The Mersey River

Rivers run wild

147 kilometres in length, the Mersey River meanders its way from its source, Lake Meston, a naturally occurring lake in the Walls of Jerusalem National Park, to the Bass Strait in Devonport.

The Mersey River is a popular fishing destination, being home to both brown trout and rainbow trout.

If you’re the adventurous type, you must look into whitewater rafting – there are ideal sections offering rapids spanning over ninety minutes.

Of course, the Wild Mersey Mountain Bike Trails along the river boast plenty of tracks to suit both professional riders and beginners.
