American River

American River is a small town tucked into native bushland overlooking Eastern Cove and Pelican Lagoon. Its natural surroundings, lack of crowds or hustle and bustle make it a haven for wildlife and birdwatching. At night the town comes alive with nocturnal animals such as wallabies and possums.

The town and surrounds are dotted with self guided walking trails that are the perfect setting for prolific birdlife and native flora. For those seeking peace and quiet amongst nature, American River is an ideal central location for touring Kangaroo Island.
