Pine Island Reserve, Nature reserve along Murrumbidgee River in Tuggeranong, Australia.

Pine Island Reserve is a nature reserve next to the Murrumbidgee River in Tuggeranong, bringing together different habitats such as woodlands, grasslands, and riverine areas. The landscape shows varied zones with trees, open spaces, and the river running alongside.

The area was explored in 1820 by Charles Throsby while searching for water sources, who came across the Murrumbidgee River. This discovery helped open the region for later settlement.

The name comes from the black cypress pines (Callitris endlicheri) growing here, and the reserve is a local spot for picnicking and barbecues beside the Murrumbidgee. In warmer months people swim, fish, kayak and watch birds on the river. The Murrumbidgee Discovery Trail runs through the reserve, south to Point Hut crossing and north to Kambah Pools.

Visiting during daylight is easiest, with picnic areas, barbecues, and restrooms on site. Those wanting to swim or kayak should prepare for river conditions.

Pine Island is normally reachable on foot and only becomes an island when the Murrumbidgee is in peak flow. Its name comes from the black cypress pines (Callitris endlicheri) growing there, not from any introduced pine plantation.
