River

With more than 150km of navigable waterways, the Manning River provides the perfect environment for boating, fishing, water sports and tranquil picnic spots.

It is the only double delta river system in Australia with two entrances to the ocean, one at Old Bar and the other at Harrington. It is not surprising that the Manning River is a recreational fishing haven, luring fishermen to the region from all over Australia.

By boat you can also discover the riverside towns of Taree, Tinonee, Harrington, Croki and Manning Point. It’s also not uncommon to see dolphins swimming by and splashing in the wake of your boat, so be sure to keep your eyes peeled!
