All about Nelson

A small, scenic fishing and holiday town less than three kilometres shy of the South Australian border, Nelson is the best kind of border town. Situated at the mouth of the beautiful Glenelg River, Nelson is a popular boating and paddling destination, with watercraft hire available locally. You can even paddle from Dartmoor, 75 kilometres upriver, down to Nelson, staying at some of the seven wilderness campsites reserved solely for kayakers and canoeists in Lower Glenelg National Park along the way.

Nelson also sits on the Great South West Walk, a spectacular 250-kilometre loop trail weaving through several national parks and green spaces that can be broken up into shorter strolls. The trail links Nelson with a long sandy beach backed by the coastal wilderness of Discovery Bay Coastal Park. Attractions also abound across the state border, from historic towns to a wetland of international importance.
