Fishing enthusiasts will be delighted with the sport on the beaches of the river around the township.
Winter is Murray crayfish season and a great time to head to the river. To fish in the Murrumbidgee River, you are required by law to pay the NSW Recreational Fishing Fee and have the receipt of payment of the current fee with you. You can pay the fishing fee at the Gum View Café, by phoning 1300 550 474 or online. You can grab some live bait from the Davis Supermarket (10 Bridge Street, Darlington Point).
There are two boat ramps:
- Boat ramp (north), Kidman Way, same entrance as the Darlington Point Riverside Caravan Park. Facilities include: Boat/trailer parking
- Boat Ramp and Pontoon (south, access via Cemetery Road. Facilities include: Boat/trailer parking
The river is accessible both upstream and downstream, and the town beach adjacent to the Caravan Park makes access easy for boating, canoeing and fresh water fishing.
Beaches
