The Bookmark Biosphere reserve is a huge wetlands reserve covering the western bank of the river from Renmark to the Victorian border. There is plenty of room for you and your dog to exercise to your heart's content.

With no private land holders there is nobody for your dog to upset.

The area of Chowilla (approx 6km upstream from Wilkadene) to the border is gazetted as 'dog friendly' for the safe use of duck shooting retriever dogs, and no fox baiting is carried out. Nevertheless keep your dog on a lead in case you come across a brown snake.

The area from Renmark to Chowilla (which is Calperum Station) does not even permit any grazing by livestock, but regular fox baiting is carried out  and you must keep your dog on a lead at all times.

There are plenty of long white sandbars where your dog can enjoy splashing and swimming in the river just as much as you do.
