Description
Paringa Paddocks offers all the features of a riverside National Park, while also being so close to the Renmark township.
Description
Paringa Paddocks is a newly declared section of the Murray River National Park that is easily accessible from the Sturt Highway between Renmark and Paringa townships.
Set on river floodplain, the park is popular with locals and visitors alike due to it's close proximity to Renmark and offers mainly flat terrain with extensive walking and mountain biking trails, DIY Permanent Orienteering Courses, vehicle access, views of the Paringa Bridge and Lock 5, bird watching and fishing.
In addition to the permanent wetlands in the park area, extensive works and the construction of a regulator have recently been completed to allow environmental flows from the Murray River to be released at specific times to ensure unique plants, animals and the iconic landscape of the river ecosystem is sustained, with most of the water continuing to flow downstream, where it provides additional benefits to the river system.
Dogs are allowed but must be on a leash (under 2 metres) and under control at all times.
