Murray River National Park

Murray River National Park spans 14,879 hectares across six sections, featuring wetlands, floodplains, and river red gum forests along the Murray River.

The national park received its official designation in 1991 to protect significant portions of South Australia's floodplain environments not found in other reserve systems.

Aboriginal Traditional Owners maintain strong connections to the lands and waters of Murray River National Park, considering it part of their ancestral landscape.

Visitors can access designated camping areas, walking trails, and boat ramps throughout the park's sections, including Katarapko, Lyrup Flats, and Paringa Paddock.

Bulyong Island section requires boat access, creating an isolated environment where kangaroos and emus roam freely among natural riverine landscapes.
