THINGS TO DO
The Murray River is a short distance from the campground. Access for swimming and launching canoes and kayaks is available at a number of places in Lane Poole Reserve. The river level can rise quickly after rain, with fast-flowing white water and slippery rocks creating conditions suitable only for skilled and experienced kayakers and canoeists.
Check the Department of Fisheries website for information on fishing regulations, including licensing.
The 3.8km Chuditch Trail takes walkers from the campground to the former town and mill at Nanga. The reserve offers many other opportunities for bushwalking and cycling, including the King Jarrah Trail and Bibbulmun Track for walkers and Munda Biddi and Waterous trails for cyclists.
