Why it's worth checking out
Pine Island Reserve sits on Pine Island Road at Greenway, on the Murrumbidgee River in Canberra's Tuggeranong district. A much-loved riverside reserve, it's a lovely natural escape — combining grassy areas, walking trails, native bushland and a popular river swimming spot with a beautiful setting on the Murrumbidgee, the kind of scenic, family-friendly spot that's a genuine local favourite.
The appeal is that combination of a gorgeous riverside setting and great amenity: room to walk, picnic and relax, the trails to explore and the river right there for a swim or a paddle, especially popular in summer. It's a beloved spot for a swim, a picnic, a bushwalk or a relaxed day by the river, capturing the natural beauty of the Murrumbidgee corridor.
With a 4.5 rating from more than 470 reviews, it's clearly a much-loved spot. The reserve is free and open, but river conditions, currents, water levels and facilities vary — and as a natural river swimming spot it pays to take real care, check conditions and watch children near the water — so it's worth taking sun protection and being water-aware, then enjoying the river and bushland at Pine Island Reserve.
