Stay safe when crossing rivers
If you plan to cross unbridged rivers, know how to cross safely and be prepared for if you cannot cross.
Do not cross if the river is flooded, you cannot find safe entry and exit points or are unsure it’s safe. Turn back or wait for the river to drop. If in doubt, stay out.
Poulter river has a stock exclusion fence across the lower river. This can act as a strainer for rafters or people in the river.
Mt White Station easement access
There are no seasonal restrictions for 2023. There is a locked gate at the start of the Poulter River access that you may need to lift your bike over.
