MURRUMBIDGEE RIVER
Situated on the edge of town, the Murrumbidgee River is one of the most significant rivers in Australia. The Murrumbidgee River supports an array of native wildlife and plant life. The river environment includes stands of Black Cypress Pine, River Oak, and several threatened species. The River also supports endangered fish and other aquatic creatures including the Murray Crayfish, the Macquarie Perch and the Trout Cod.

The Murrumbidgee River is a great place for recreation, with numerous river reserves ideal for water sports, fishing, canoeing, swimming, camping, picnics and riverside walks.

NARRANDERA WETLANDS
The wetlands are located just west of the Murrumbidgee River Bridge off Shung Street and are fed by stormwater from the town. Surrounded by a walking track, these are designed to be perennial wetlands.

LAKE TALBOT
Ideal for boating, canoeing and water skiing, this artificial lake is located only 1.5 kilometres from the town centre, which is ideal for boating, canoeing, water skiing etc. The lake adjoins the Lake Talbot Aquatic Park and Lake Talbot Caravan Park.

Lake Talbot is the scene, from time to time, of the Australian and NSW skiing titles. Each January the NSW Water Ski Association holds the zone 5 championships on the lake. With trailing willows to break the turbulence caused by boats and skiers, the lake is especially suitable for water skiing.

RIVER CAMPING
The river reserves, State Forest and surrounding private property are perfect for campers using tents and caravans. Permission must be sought from the property owner or manager before going on to private property.

SAFETY TIPS
Select a safe campsite away from towering gum trees to avoid the possibility of a limb falling on someone, your car or your camp. Never set up your camp and tent on a beach because a wall of water may come down the river and wash you out.
Always set up your camp on high ground with your car faced ready to drive out.
