On the Arnhem Hwy about 43km SE of Humpty Doo, the short track into the lagoon is signposted. The park isn’t protected which means vehicles in particular quads and motorbikes have access to it doing enormous damage. This can be good birding with a fluctuating lagoon and good woodland around the edge.
No camping allowed here.
