This easy grade walk begins from the southern end of the Leprena Track, where it joins the current road to Cockle Creek.
The walk begins along a road (which also provides vehicle access for an oyster lease, for approximately 1 kilometre), before becoming more of a walking track, with a bush-canopy over-arching the path. The old rock base of this original road to Cockle is evident underfoot as you walk almost a straight North-South line. As the shade increases, more mosses and ferns grow. There are early views of the waterways, being the northern end of Recherche Bay and you will pass some short side access tracks to the right, where people have camped.
A small wooden bridge remains across a creek and you will pass some old cypress trees, indicating where early European homesteads were, as part of the Leprena township, principally based around the mining of low-grade coal. Other remnant exotic plants can be seen along the track, such as fox-glove and holly.
The walk itself takes about 30 - 45 minutes to reach the D'Entrecasteaux River, with little remaining of the old Pigsty bridge(timber-ramparts on each side).
