Murray River National Park - Katarapko

Katarapko, a Murray River National Park is located in the Riverland about 180 kilometres from Adelaide. The park is opposite the town of Loxton and is four kilometres south of Berri.

Access to the main area of the park is by a sealed road just past the township of Glossop. Other access is gained by crossing the floodplain from either Lower Winkie Road or under the bridge at Berri.

Due to the terrain the park is in three distinct sections, which can only be accessed through their separate entrances.

The park was formed in 1991 and includes 8,905 hectares with a rich range of habitats. 75% of the area is floodplain and contains many wetlands both permanent and semi permanent. This is an important breeding area for many forms of life including water birds.
