This is the next river west of the larger De Grey River on the Great Northern Hwy. The pool by the bridge is semi-permanent. There is a small sandy track that leads into the woodland on the NE side. There is good woodland here but the cattle have trashed the lower storey of vegetation.

Camp rating 6 A ramp leads down to a small flat area on the NE side, with 4wd you can get a bit further, but a fence limits the distance from the highway. there are no facilities here.
