Just off the Southern Ports Hwy about 15km NW of Millicent, this gem of a wetland is well worth a look, a path leads beside a drain to the main lake, and a short boardwalk leads to a bird hide. The lake is choked with reeds, so the best birding is along the channel, which has quality vegetation.
No camping allowed here
