Horseshoe Lagoon is one of more than 7,000 wetlands along
the Murray River between Lake Hume and the mouth of the
Murray in South Australia.
The area includes a ‘horseshoe’ shaped lagoon, a billabong,
and a small depression that fills during high rivers.
The environment is typical of floodplains along the Murray
River. It provides homes for native birds, animals, plants
and fish. The area also contains important environmental
features.
The reserve is widely used for walking, bird watching, running,
bike riding, seed collecting and other low-impact activities. It
can also help you to learn about the importance of wetlands and
floodplains along the mighty Murray River.
Please enjoy the area. Do not disturb native plants, animals
or birds, and please take your rubbish home with you.
