Mitchell River Silt Jetties

Worlds Second Longest Finger Delta

Starting near Bairnsdale and extending 7 km out into Lake King, and the Gippsland Lakes, from the mouth of the Mitchell River, the Mitchell River Silt Jetties are the second longest digitate (finger) delta in the world. Being one of the finest examples of this type of delta in the world, the silt jetties are listed on the register of the National Estate. No camping is permitted along the silt jetties.  Vehicle access extends nearly the full length of the silt jetties with parking a short walk from Point Dawson at the end. The Bluff Lookout at Eagle Point offers an elevated vantage point to view the jetties.
