There are many bush walking tracks in the area surrounding our motel. The main track is The River Walk from the John Foord Bridge (at the far east end of our property), which starts at the Victorian side of the Murray River and ends at St Leonards Vineyard, about 5km away. A delightful feature of the walk is the beautiful century-old river gums and the large variety of native wildlife, such as goannas, birds and the elusive echidna - all everyday aspects of staying on the tranquil and magnificent Murray River.

Other regular attractions in this area are gliding and parachuting, horse racing, speedway, billy cart derby and the Corowa Sunday Market.
