'''Chowilla Game Reserve''' is a [[protected area]] covering the floodplain on the north side of the [[River Murray]] in [[South Australia]] from about {{convert|8|km|abbr=off}} north-east of [[Renmark, South Australia|Renmark]] to the [[New South Wales]] border. It was proclaimed 8 April 1993 in conjunction with the [[Chowilla Regional Reserve]]. Its creation arises from a community consultation process which recommended that ‘hunting of waterfowl be a permitted activity in selected areas of the Chowilla floodplain’.

Chowilla Game Reserve is a protected area covering the floodplain on the north side of the River Murray in South 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]
