On the River Murray floodplain and encompassing a large open swamp known as Wachtels Lagoon, this reserve conserves wetlands for conservation and management of waterfowl. Tall river gums and river box rise from the tangle of lignum fringing the lagoon. Reed beds protect the nursery areas or many waterbirds and provide homes for insects, frogs and small fish upon which egrets and herons prey. A nature trail wanders along the edge of the waterways.

3 ½ km south of Kingston-on-Murray. From Kingston-on-Murray, travel east on the Sturt Highway (sealed), then turn south onto the Moorook-Loxton Road (sealed) west of the Kingston Bridge. The park is 3 ½ km along this road on its eastern side. Roads within the park become impassable in wet weather. Otherwise, they are accessible to conventional vehicles and caravans.
