Murray Valley National Park is a protected area associated with the Murray River corridor, preserving riverine and floodplain woodlands and wetlands. The park is valued for native river red gum stands and associated wildlife habitat.

Typical visitor activities include short walks, wildlife viewing and day-use picnics near riverfront areas. Management emphasizes conservation of floodplain ecosystems and sustainable visitor use.

The park lies along the Murray River system in southeastern Australia and protects sections of river floodplain and adjacent woodlands. It is located within the broader Murray River landscape between regional towns along the river.

• Riverine habitats: The park protects riverine and floodplain habitats associated with the Murray River and provides trails and picnic areas for day visitors.

The park has multiple access points along the Murray River in north-eastern Victoria; nearest towns include Swan Hill and Echuca-drive to designated car parks and boat ramps, following Parks Victoria signage.

• Explore lesser-used tracks to avoid crowds-there are many paddocks and riverbank trails people miss.
• Boat-launch facilities exist nearby-consider a canoe trip on the Murray River to see floodplain ecology.
• Spring and early summer bring migrant birds and breeding waterfowl-bring binoculars.
