The King Edward River Crossing has a rocky bottom, but water often remains right through the dry season and can be quite deep early in the dry season. Numerous spots to pull over for a lunch break are nearby. Various access tracks and almost unlimited room for campers under trees, along banks of river about 500m away.

This crossing is just 8km from the main road (Kalumburu Road).
