Paddling near Murray Bridge, South Australia

Murray Bridge sits on the Murray River in South Australia's Murraylands, about 80 km east of Adelaide. The town is the gateway to the Lower Murray's flatwater paddling country — calm, wide river channels, quiet backwaters, and the historic cliffs of the South Australian stretch. Canoes, kayaks, and SUP boards are all well suited here, with hire available locally and a dedicated canoe trail running downstream toward Wellington and Lake Alexandrina.
