Fro Dog Box Biv the Eyre Valley 4WD track heads down easy flats on the northern bank. After 2km it fords the main river (shin deep, 4m wide, easy except after heavy rain) to the southern bank. Shortly after it crosses Windley Creek, entering from the south-west, at the start of beech forest.

Note: Described in the reverse direction to your journey

Above Windley Creek, the Eyre Valley track crosses the main river to the north bank (shin deep, 4m wide, easy crossing except after heavy rain) and follows valley flats upstream. After a ford of the minor Dog Box Creek, a faint 4WD track branches right to climb to Dog Box Biv on the terrace above.
