Welcome to the Murray River and its extensive Parks and Reserves. This information has been provided by Parks Victoria for the Victorian section of the Murray River. There are many beautiful beaches along the length of the Murray River that have been enjoyed by many people for a long time. Victoria is fortunate to have access to these areas for day visits, picnics, camping and recreation. Parks Victoria wants to ensure that the area is preserved for future generations to enjoy.

This Murray River information is compiled by Parks Victoria in conjunction with a number of partner agencies that aims to help visitors better understand the environment of the Murray River and to ensure your visit is both enjoyable and respectful of the River Red gum ecology to help preserve the river environs. The Red Gum forests of the Murray have endured a sustained period of drought and they are sensitive to growing pressures of recreation and resource use as more visitors and increased development occurs along the River. This fact is clearly visible in the decline of vegetation and ground cover and it is therefore critical that visitors are aware of and implement appropriate camping practices.

Parks Victoria Rangers work with other local agencies to help ensure your visit is as safe and enjoyable as possible. Please feel free to talk with them about the parklands or seek their advice on appropriate camping behaviour as necessary. Looking after the Murray is everyone’s responsibility and each small contribution goes a long way to assisting in maintaining or improving the overall environmental condition of the area. On behalf of Parks Victoria, our staff and Discover Murray, we hope you enjoy your stay in this magnificent part of the world.
