Murray River: Fishing and canoeing

You can canoe on the Murray River near Jingellic, and the town is also an idyllic destination for fishing. Jingellic Reserve serves as a launch or landing point for fishing boats, kayaks and canoes, and has a boat ramp. So, alongside canoeing on the river, there are also explicitly named facilities for various watercraft at the Reserve. When comparing the options, distinguish between the activity on the Murray River and the launch and landing points at Jingellic Reserve.

Bridge, hotel and walking connection

The current Jingellic Bridge was built in 1959. It is an important representative example of a bridge-building method that is no longer used today. The Historic Bridge Hotel, also known as the Jingellic Pub, was established in 1925. Jingellic therefore brings together two distinct historical reference points: the year the current bridge was built and the year the hotel was established.

The Jingellic Multi Use Track connects the free campground next to the Bridge Hotel with the Jingellic Shop. The facilities were completed and the track sealed in December 2020. The route links two specific destinations in town, so it can be included in your trip planning alongside the camping and river activities.
