Katarapko National Park
Nature & Parks
New trails were built in June 2020 in the Murray River National Park, in the Lock 4 and Eckert Creek section and the Katarapko Creek section of the park. The trails were built during an upgrade of the park, with works to improve the health of the Katarapko floodplain.
Experience some of the birdlife and views of the River Murray and its creeks and floodplains.
The new trails now provide four different walking experiences in the Murray River National Park. The three new trails supplement the existing Ngak Indau Wetland Trail. The three new trails are shared-used with mountain bikers, and some short sections are shared with vehicle traffic.
- Katarapko Trail (marked in pink on the map), 10.4km one-way, follows the banks of the River Murray between Berri and Lock 4
- Rodeo Trail, a 9.2km circuit, follows the banks of the River Murray south from Berri, looping into the plains following Eckert Creek
- Rodeo Trail Shortcut, a 4.5km out-and-back trail with a small loop at the end, follows the banks of the River Murray south from Berri to the northern arm of Eckert Creek
- Ngak Indau Wetland Trail, a 3km circuit through the wetlands, watch out for the birdlife including spoonbills, an array of duck species, herons and whistling kites.
All three of the new trails start in the same location, on Draper Road, on the south-western outskirts of Berri (near the Berri Rowing Club, just south-west of the river bridge), and share the same trail for the first 2 kilometres.
