About Pike River Conservation Park
Pike River Conservation Park is a protected conservation area in the Riverland region of South Australia, near Mundic Creek in the Renmark Paringa Council area east of Renmark. It conserves floodplain, wetlands and mallee habitats along the Pike River, an anabranch of the Murray River. Notable for birdwatching, river red gum woodlands, seasonal wetlands and tranquil bushwalking and kayaking opportunities within the Murray River floodplain ecosystem.
Visitors guide
Visitors can expect a quiet, natural floodplain landscape of wetlands, creeks, river red gum woodlands and mallee scrub along the Pike River anabranch system. The park offers undeveloped bushwalking tracks, bird hides and waterways for kayaking and canoeing, with opportunities to see waterbirds, woodland birds and floodplain wildlife. Facilities are minimal and the setting is remote and natural, suitable for nature observation, photography and low-impact camping.
