Kings Billabong is a floodplain wetland complex located on the Murray River floodplain approximately 8–10 kilometres south-east of Mildura, in the north-west corner of Victoria. The billabong sits alongside the Murray River, which in this stretch carries considerable motorised boat traffic including water-skiers, speedboats, and houseboats. The billabong itself, by contrast, offers a noticeably quieter paddling environment, with narrow channels fringed by reeds and stands of River Red Gums.
The primary access point for paddlers is at Psyche Pumps, where an all-abilities canoe launching ramp provides easy water entry into Psyche Creek and Kings Billabong. The ramp is designed to accommodate paddlers of varying mobility. Nearby Duck's Foot Lagoon is a smaller adjacent water body whose inlets are worth exploring as an extension of a paddle on the main billabong. The park can be reached via Eleventh Street, with an additional entrance available from Irymple Avenue or Billabong Road via the Bruces Bend entrance. Note that the Psyche Pumps Bridge is undergoing replacement works scheduled from May to July 2026, during which vehicle and pedestrian access via that bridge will be closed, though the Psyche Pumps Campground remains open during this period.
The billabong supports a diverse range of birdlife, including pelicans and swans, making it a productive area for wildlife observation while on the water. A bird hide overlooking the billabong is available for those who want to stop and watch. The park's ecological significance is reflected in active environmental water management by the Mallee Catchment Management Authority.
For those without their own equipment, kayak rental is available locally, with at least one operator offering delivery to a chosen launch site and subsequent collection. Guided canoe tours of the billabong are also available through local outfitters.
Fishing within the billabong and surrounding waters requires the appropriate licence — a Victorian Recreational Fishing Licence for Victorian waters, and a New South Wales Freshwater Fishing Licence for the Murray River itself. Paddlers should be aware that watering events managed by the Mallee CMA can affect access to parts of the park during certain periods.
