Patterson River

CARRUM, Victoria

Patterson River is a unique man made waterway, created in 1876 to provide drainage from the Dandenong Valley catchment. Since then is has become one of the most popular boating and fishing gateways to Port Phillip. The thriving canal system of the Patterson Lakes residential area and the wet and dry storage at the marina contribute to making this an extremely busy waterway.

The river banks provide family-friendly facilities including covered picnic areas and electric barbecues. It is also a great place for walking, cycling and fishing. Due to the boats, this area is not suitable for swimming.
