Murray River closures
The Murray stretches across the state and there are many different parks, reserves and other areas along it. These areas have also been heavily impacted by the 2022 floods and some places are still closed.
We have split the Murray into four reaches to explain these closures, starting from the far east to the South Australian border.

Swan Hill to South Australia border
Flood waters took longer to get to and recede from this part of the river, therefore the team have had less time to get into areas, assess and re-open them.
See more information and maps about which river bends are open and closed (PDF).
