A recommended paddle route begins by launching at Plummers Creek, which provides access to the lagoon. Horseshoe Lagoon itself is an old meander of the Murray River, forming a distinct, curved body of water. The paddling experience transitions from the creek into a broad stretch of reeds before opening into the clear water of the lagoon. The overall character is that of a quiet, natural backwater, rich in wildlife. Paddlers may spot mistletoe birds, yellow rosellas, or red kangaroos along the banks. The waterway is bordered by reeds, and the route offers a scenic, sheltered paddle through this former river channel. The lagoon is a viable and attractive paddling destination connected to the broader Murray River system, suitable for a day trip exploring this historic river landscape.
