You can ride your bikes or if you like walking can walk to this spot. This is where salt water meets fresh water and if they are releasing water through the lock and the barrage at the time of your visit you will see a feeding frenzy like no other. The local birds flock to the open gates and you will see many varieties feeding on the fresh water fish as they die when they enter the salt water. If it's not feeding time, all is calm and you will see the seals basking in the sun and possibly playing in the water. (sometimes you see one swim past the unit whilst sitting on the jetty across the road). Alternatively if you walk the walking track through the sand hills towards the beach from the car park you will be blessed with one of the best views Goolwa has to offer... it's 360 degrees of panoramic scenery, including views of the town, river, barrage, Coorong and Goolwa Beach. One of my favourite spots!

The Goolwa Barrages comprise five barrage structures in the channels separating Lake Alexandrina from the sea at the mouth of the River Murray and the Coorong in Australia. They were constructed in order to firstly reduce salinity levels in the lower reaches of the River Murray, Lake Alexandrina and Lake Albert and secondly to stabilise the river level, for both upstream irrigation and pumping.

Worth the trip to see the seals, the boats going through the lock. Goolwa side of the lock is fresh water & the south eastern side is salt water. A bonus is you get a nice little walk in too. There is BBQs in the park area.
