About Murray River

Stretching along the iconic Murray River in the Riverland region between 180-240km northeast of Adelaide, this park comprises six separate sections including Katarapko, Lyrup Flats, and Bulyong Island. Each section offers diverse landscapes from river red gum forests and wetlands to floodplains and sand dunes. Important habitat for pelicans, kingfishers, and western grey kangaroos, the park provides excellent opportunities for canoeing, birdwatching, and bush camping along the river system.
