The Swanport Wetlands
One of those hidden gems the locals wish to keep secret.
Located on the eastern banks of the River Murray adjacent to the Swanport Bridge, the wetlands are a nationally significant River Murray feature covering an area of more than 19 hectares, including 3.5 hectares of open water surrounded by bulrushes and teaming with local wildlife.
A 1.2 km walking trail and a boardwalk allows easy access the wetlands. Allow plenty of time to be distracted and enjoy the abundant bird life and listen to the sounds of river life.
An elevated interpretive area provides not only information on flora, fauna and the layout of the area but gives a panoramic view over the wetlands with seats to pause, listen and enjoy.
Don’t forget to take your camera and binoculars.
Most of the area is easily accessible by the physically disabled, including wheelchair access.
