Ride 11 - Riverton Bridge to Woodloe's Homestead

From Riverton Bridge proceed left into Riverton Drive East and continue along until you reach Adenia Road. The path along Adenia Road is compacted limestone and is not very suitable to cycling. You may wish to cycle on Adenia Road until the path starts again. Care should be taken when riding over the metal ramps that cover reticulation pipes crossing the path.

At the end of the path turn left into Adenia Road and continue over the footbridge turning left into Bursaria Crescent and left again into Ferndale Crescent. Follow the road again turning left onto the shared path opposite Spey Place. The path winds through the river flats and intersects with several paths. The major paths turn left and right.

The left path leads to the Kent Street Weir Footbridge. Here there is a pleasant picnic area, with some tables, a playground, toilets and ample parking.

The right path proceeds alongside the west side of the river bank. This section provides many pleasant rest spots and it is a popular site for canoeing. Follow the path turning left into Marmot Way and rejoining it again at Willcock Street.

Turn right before the footbridge and continue along until you again turn left onto Bergall Court for 150 metres before rejoining the path. The ride now passes through some lovely shady groves of willow, paperbark and rivergums.

Turn left into Eastfield Court and left again back onto the path which continues over Nicholson Road Bridge to Woodloe’s Homestead. This is an excellent start/finish point. A further 300m onwards is the pleasant Mason’s Landing, with wood bbqs, toilets and play area on the banks of the river.
