Set on the broad reaches of the Lower Murray, Mannum is accessible via the South Eastern Freeway from Adelaide or the scenic route through Gumeracha and Birdwood.

Mannum is a river destination with something for everyone, whether it’s fossiking for fossils, river scenery, or activities such as houseboating or canoeing. You can also take a relaxing trip along the river on the original paddle steamer the PS Marion. Other overnight cruise boats available are the Murray Princess and Murray Expedition.
