Whether you're camping out in the adjacent Edward River Bridge campground, or taking a day trip from Deniliquin or Moama, Edward River Bridge picnic area is a great place to stop for a barbecue lunch. Its location within Murray Valley Regional Park, part of the Murray Valley reserves, means you can even bring your dog along to this picnic area – so the whole family can enjoy a fun day out.

Equipped with picnic tables and free barbecues, Edward River Bridge picnic area is set beside the majestic river red gums for which Murray Valley Regional Park, joined to Murray Valley National Park, is known. Cook up a storm on the barbecue or sit down and relax at one of the picnic tables.
