Chinamans Island Nature Reserve

Chinamans Island Nature Reserve Yarrawonga is a scenic track that is perfect for leisurely walks, jogs, cycling, and wheelchair access.

It is located along the southern shores of Lake Mulwala and remains accessible in all weather conditions.

The reserve is known for its unique woodland and wetland ecosystem, which provides a habitat for over 60 native bird species and other wildlife such as platypus, water rats, and yellow-bellied water skinks. The diverse flora and fauna can be observed in different zones within the reserve.

At the end of the track, there is a rotunda where visitors can enjoy picnics, meet friends, or simply relax while taking in the scenic views. Comfortable seating spots along the track offer great opportunities for birdwatching and photography.

The reserve is also dog-friendly, allowing well-behaved dogs on a leash to accompany their owners. Dog litter bags are provided to maintain cleanliness.

Getting to the reserve is easy by car. It is located about a kilometer away from the Yarrawonga Mulwala Visitor Information Centre. Visitors can follow the Murray Valley Highway, turn into Piper Street, and continue onto Lynch Street and Chinaman's Island Road. A parking lot on the left side of the road provides easy access to the walking track.
