Tolderol Game Reserve

Tolderol Game Reserve is a protected area of 428 hectares on the north-western side of Lake Alexandrina. The game reserve was proclaimed in 1970 and consists of a series of man made open and shallow basins with connecting channels and levee banks. These levees enable the manipulation of water levels to create rich foraging habitat for migratory wader birds. Tolderol is a well-regarded bird watching location, reed beds along the lake shore, grassy banks and shallow basins attract a wide variety of water fowl and migratory wader bird species. Being a game reserve there is a short duck hunting open season permitted in a designated area of the reserve and adjacent lakeshore (depending on seasonal conditions).
