Corowa & Surrounds
This historical town and regional centre is a great place to base yourself for all your adventures North of the Murray
Where history is made and flavours are found
Step into the heart of the North of the Murray in Corowa, a town where significant Australian history meets a vibrant modern lifestyle. As the "Birthplace of Federation," Corowa offers a rich tapestry of heritage trails and grand architecture, now home to award-winning whisky distillery and artisan chocolate makers.
Beyond the town centre, the "surrounds" open up into a gourmet goldmine, where century-old vineyards and farm-gate stalls invite you to taste the very best of our region’s harvest.
Spend your days cycling along the scenic rail trails that connect our historic villages, or take to the water for a peaceful paddle through the iconic river red gums of the Murray. With world class fishing spots, bird filled wetlands, and plenty of room to roam, our region provides the perfect backdrop for your next outdoor adventure—all just a stone’s throw from our bustling regional centre.

Corowa's great outdoors
Walking & Cycling Comfortable Mediterranean weather means places such as Corowa’s very own fishing wharf and sandy river beach, known as ‘the Lagoon’, become magnets for tourists and residents all year round. But it’s the Murray that takes centre stage here, with water based recreation a major reason to visit Corowa, and a major reason why people return. There’s amazing fishing, of course, but also a wide range of boating and water sport activities to try.
Surrounded by the majesty of the Australian bush, locals and visitors don’t waste the opportunity to get out into nature. For the more active types, there are trail rides to keep the adrenaline pumping. Walking tracks and hiking routes allow you to see the world at a slower pace, while birdwatchers can tick off some unique species just by standing still.
