What this means for you
Boat ramps
Water level affects which ramps you can launch from. At the main basins most ramps are open at moderate levels — always confirm your ramp before you tow.
Swimming
Plenty of water in the swimming bays. Keep the 5-knot limit within 50 m of the shore and watch for other craft.
Hazards
As the level drops, submerged timber sits closer to the surface. Go slow in unfamiliar arms and near the banks.
