Situated on the upper reaches of the Clyde River, this area is surrounded by the Boyne, South Brooman and Shallow Crossing State Forests and is a haven for fishermen, bushwalkers, four wheel drivers and anyone who wants to enjoy the peace and quiet of the bush.

Shallow Crossing can be accessed from the Princes Highway at East Lynne or from the Kings Highway at Nelligen. Either way involves travel along well formed dirt roads suitable for all vehicles.

Access from the east requires crossing a ford, which can be affected by king tides/high rainfall.
