Bridgewater Swimming Hole

Looking for a great day out at no cost to the family?

Why not visit the Bridgewater swimming hole located at Bridgewater on Loddon, on the northern side of the Loddon Bridge past the Bridgewater Hotel.

Enjoy the beautiful Loddon River, which serves as a natural infinity pool.  This secluded area has a floating pontoon and is off-limits from the designated water skiiing/speed boat zone. This area is suitable for swimming and small watercraft only.

There is a BBQ onsite with plenty of grass and shade to relax, along with a timber deck leading to the water's edge.

Please be aware the Bridgewater swimming hole does not have a lifeguard on duty.  Please ensure you take note of all safety signage before entering the water.  In case of emergency, refer to the emergency marker signs in the area.
