For most of its course, the river flows through the Lower Glenelg National Park, a place of exceptional natural beauty which is home to spectacular wildlife. Visitors to the Lower Glenelg National Park Victoria can stay at some of the 7 campsites reserved exclusively for the use of canoeists and kayakers and for fishing. While the full Glenelg River Trail takes around four days, there is a popular three-day option and you can also hire a canoe for a day-trip. There are canoe hire outlets in Dartmoor, Winnap and Nelson. All canoe campsites in the park must be booked and pay all applicable fees. Sites can only be booked for a maximum of one night.
