Chowilla Game Reserve is a protected area covering the floodplain on the north side of the River MurrayinSouth Australia from about 8 kilometres (5.0 miles) north-east of Renmark to the New South Wales border. It was proclaimed 8 April 1993 in conjunction with the Chowilla Regional Reserve, after a community consultation process which recommended that "hunting of waterfowl be a permitted activity in selected areas of the Chowilla floodplain". The game reserve is classified as an IUCN Category VI protected area.^[3]^[4]^[5]^[1]

The Chowilla floodplain is also protected as part of the Riverland Ramsar site,^[6] designated by the Ramsar Convention as a wetland of international importance.^[7]
