McLean Beach sits on the Edward River at the end of Butler Street, just moments from Deniliquin's CBD, making it the town's most accessible riverside destination.

The site includes a public boat ramp alongside BBQ facilities, accessible bathrooms, and ample free parking, drawing swimmers, water-skiers, and boaters to the Edward River's clear waters.

The beach also serves as the starting point for the popular Beach to Beach Riverside Walk, a scenic trail that follows the riverbank past towering river red gums, heritage sites, and local landmarks before finishing at Willoughby's Beach further upstream.
