Kyneton - Campaspe River Walk
The Campaspe River Walk which stretches from the Kyneton Botanic Gardens to the bottom of Piper Street and beyond to the Racecourse is almost three kilometres long. It provides an interesting walk along the River and passes through the Sculpture Park near Quarry Reserve.
There are historical markers along the way.

Dogs are permitted on-leash. There is an off-leash area at the western end of Clowes Street (green area on map).
Review:
A pleasant walk along the river which includes a sculpture park. The sculptures are quite interesting but the information boards for the sculptures are very dilapidated and impossible to read (they have been updated since this review).
We started the walk at Campaspe Place where the sculptures are located and after a short time reached the Barry Doyle Memorial Rotunda which has four tables and BBQs. Around this are four unshaded tables, water tap and more sculptures.
The track is made from a hard gravel surface and is suitable for walking or riding a bike. There are plenty of picnic tables along the way and some shaded seats are provided. Most of the way the river is on one side and houses are on the other. Little wooden bridges and weirs along the river help to retain interest for the kids.
