Katarapko Creek

Katarapko Creek is a major anabranch of the Murray River within the Katarapko section of Murray River National Park near Berri in South Australia's Riverland region. The creek meanders through floodplains, wetlands, lagoons and river red gum forests that form part of the Riverland Ramsar wetland system. It is notable for its protected floodplain ecology, secluded waterways and islands, and is a popular destination for kayaking, camping, birdwatching and four-wheel driving.

Visitors can expect a tranquil floodplain creek system with slow-flowing waterways, wetlands, lagoons and river red gum and black box woodlands. The area is accessed via unsealed tracks within Murray River National Park and offers designated campgrounds along the creek, canoe and kayak trails, bird hides, walking tracks and 4WD routes. Facilities are basic and natural, with opportunities to see waterbirds, kangaroos and river landscapes. The setting is remote and natural with no urban development along the creek itself.
