The Tarwin catchment offers wonderful experiences for summer visitors and locals alike:
- Swim at Tarwin Lower — the estuary beach offers a sheltered swimming spot popular with families.
- Canoe the Tarwin — a morning paddle from Meeniyan to Stony Creek reveals the river’s quiet beauty.
- Walk the Tarwin Valley Rail Trail — flat and family-friendly, this trail follows the old railway corridor through dairy country.
- Birdwatch at Corner Inlet — summer is an excellent time to spot shorebirds and waders at this Ramsar-listed wetland.
