Eckert Creek is a waterway within the Katarapko system of South Australia's Riverland region. It forms part of a complex network of creeks, lakes, and anabranches connected to the Murray River, offering a unique lowland riverine fishing environment distinct from upland streams. The creek's character is heavily influenced by its connection to the larger Murray-Darling system, with flow regimes playing a critical role in fish passage and habitat connectivity.
