Goolwa North

The bikeway starts in town and runs along the Murray River beside a river reserve; the Game Reserve is in the surrounding area and is a coastal freshwater lake on the outskirts of Goolwa. The river route and the wetland are distinct landscape features. This distinction helps you consider the local route and the natural area around it separately when planning your trip.

Encounter Bikeway on the Murray River

The Encounter Bikeway starts in Goolwa North at the corner of Howell Street and Liverpool Road. At the start, a shared path runs along the Murray River beside the river reserve and Liverpool Road. The details serve different purposes for orientation: the intersection identifies the starting point, while the river and reserve indicate the landscape setting of the initial section. The path and the road are two separate features: the shared path follows the river, while Liverpool Road runs alongside it. If the bikeway is part of your travel plans, you can distinguish the specific starting point from the description of its initial section.

Parking near Howell Street

Roadside parking is available on Liverpool Road near Howell Street. This means the parking information refers to the same local area as the bikeway start. Availability may vary; check shortly before your trip if you are planning to use this option. This gives you both a specific road reference and a practical planning note.

Currency Creek Game Reserve

Currency Creek Game Reserve is a coastal freshwater lake and part of the Coorong, Lakes Alexandrina and Albert Ramsar Wetland. It is on the outskirts of Goolwa and is considered nearby to Goolwa North. This distinguishes it from the river reserve along the Encounter Bikeway: the bikeway concerns the route of a path along the Murray River, while the Game Reserve concerns the lake and its inclusion in the named wetland. If you plan your trip around landscape interests, you can consider these two water and nature features separately.
