At the heart of East Gippsland’s outdoor playground lies the Mitchell River—a clear, winding channel rich with native wildlife and striking natural features. Riverlake Discoveries offers a distinctive way to connect with this landscape through their 30-minute Waterbike Hire, a fresh, eco-friendly activity suited for all ages and skill levels. Located in Eagle Point, Victoria, just off Rivermouth Road, this experience sets itself apart by blending physical activity with close encounters of nature’s best.
Riders mount state-of-the-art Waterbikes designed for effortless pedaling across the pristine river waters. As you glide, ancient sandstone cliffs loom nearby, their vertical faces revealing geological stories millions of years old. Along the banks, dense stands of native flora—like river red gums and paperbarks—shade the water, providing refuge for birds such as kingfishers and egrets. The river is alive with the subtle sound of water flowing around submerged rocks, punctuated occasionally by the splash of a waterbird or the rustle of a wallaby in the brush.

The shallow, calm stretches of the Mitchell River make waterbiking safe and enjoyable, even for beginners and families. The business operates with a strong emphasis on environmental respect—minimizing impact while inviting guests to immerse themselves in the untouched beauty of the region.
