The Murray Parks - VicParks

Replenish the soul, reconnect with nature and share the best of the outdoor life amid the sunny climes of the vibrant Murray River region.

This legendary region is holiday central. Australia’s longest and most iconic river flows through its fertile heart and a sense of freedom fills the air.

Park up in the shade of ancient river red gums, by a fish-filled lake or in a regional town with the mighty Murray River in your backyard. There are tourist parks aplenty, right across the region.

What’s on your wish list? Cruising on a historic paddle steamer. Golfing a lush, resort-style course. Hauling in a big one that didn’t get away. Birding for days in far-flung twitcher haunts. There are endless possibilities for families, couples, gourmet travellers, water lovers, sporty folk and nomadic types.

One of Australia’s great food bowls beckons with artisan producers, fine dining, picnics, pubs, farm gates, cellar doors and farmers’ markets.

Discover the secrets of old port towns including Mildura, Swan Hill and Echuca through heritage walks, interpretive spaces, hands-on activities or self-paced wanderings along the river banks and streets.

National parks boast primordial landscapes, timeless Indigenous gathering grounds and a bundle of bushland tracks and trails to explore by foot or bike. Days roll naturally into magical sunsets and cozy evening campfires.
