High River Flows Information

High river flows are a way of keeping the river environment healthy, strong and sustainable. It’s an ideal time to highlight the natural beauty and environments along the Murray River, making the most of this rare, natural event. While people are encouraged to enjoy the Murray River, people should be aware of the hazards and act responsibly. Be sure to plan ahead and be flexible to change.

There is so much of the Murray River Lakes and Coorong that is safe to explore and experience. Visitors are encouraged to plan ahead and contact the accredited Visitor Information Centres at Murray Bridge an Mannum.

Towns are still ‘open for business’ – visit the wineries, cellar doors, museums, and many eating places. You can even take in the views from the high points, such as lookouts. Be sure to book ahead with a wide range of accommodation available in the region.

The Murray River, Lakes and Coorong Murray Bridge, South Australia 5253

We acknowledge and respect Aboriginal peoples as South Australia’s first peoples and recognise them as traditional owners and occupants of land and waters in South Australia. Our Murray River Lakes and Coorong region’s tourism industry supports spiritual, social, heritage and cultural beliefs and values of Aboriginal people. This is beyond a dictionary definition of ‘Country’ on a map and includes stories, resources and places with a connection to ancestors and often being the custodians and caretakers of their land.
