Wallaga Lake

Nestled beneath the majestic Gulaga Mountain, Wallaga Lake is the largest lake in southern New South Wales. Its serene waters offer excellent fishing, swimming, boating, sailing, water skiing, bushwalking, and birdwatching opportunities. Picnic and toilet facilities are available at various locations around the lake. Accommodations include three caravan parks with lakeside camping sites, cabins, and boat hire. Beauty Point and Wallaga Lake Heights provide stunning sunset views over the Great Dividing Range. The lake is home to Umbarra, the black duck, the totem of the Yuin-Monaro people. Merriman's Island, within the lake, is gazetted as an Aboriginal Place in recognition of its significance to the local Aboriginal people. This island is not accessible to the public, and landings are not permitted. Aboriginal middens and artefacts, such as cutting stones, have been found in the lake area. Please help to conserve these relics by not disturbing them in any way.
