Things to Do - McKillops Bridge is one of the few places in the park with access to the Snowy River by conventional vehicle. The Deddick River meets the Snowy just upstream of the bridge and wide sandy beaches with shallow rock pools between the rapids make this a great swimming spot.
- This is also the best canoe-launching place for adventurers wanting to explore the gorges downstream. The Snowy offers thrilling canoeing or rafting with rugged gorges, rapids, flat sections with sand bars and beautiful scenery. The gently sloping sand bars make ideal camp sites.
- The 18 kilometre Silver Mine Walking Track and the short Snowy River Trail both leave from McKillops Bridge.
- Little River Gorge, Victoria's deepest gorge, is to the west of McKillops Bridge and downstream from the junction of the Little River and Snowy River. The descent beyond Little River Gorge into McKillops Bridge is one of Victoria's most precarious roads, unsuitable for caravans and semi-trailers.
- In suitable conditions, visitors can drive along the Yalmy Road through magnificent tall forests to Waratah Flat, then walk through the surrounding forest. Raymond Falls in the south of the park can be reached all year round from Orbost along Moresford Track. A short walking track leads to a view of Raymond Falls plunging 20 metres into a deep, clear pool. McKillops Bridge is the finishing point for the Deddick Trail, a 43 km four-wheel drive track which starts on the Yalmy Road and travels through the heart of the park. Camping grounds are provided on the banks of the Snowy and Deddick.
- Fishing in the Snowy River can be disappointing, but tributaries often have good trout.
