About Murray River Reserve

The Murray River Reserves were set up to protect areas of cultural and natural assets along this stretch of the Murray

There are a series of small reserves along the Murray River that are excellent swimming, fishing and boating spots. There are also a number of excellent camping and picnicking spots amongst the river red gums.

Thanks to Peter for the following updates.

The reserve covers 400ha, originally used for horse grazing by the Police during the gold rushes, then as a State Forest, but most is inaccessible across the Murphy Creek. Status may change from Murray River Reserve to Murray River Park
