Wallagoot Lake in Bournda National Park, is about 20km (15 mins drive) north of Merimbula on the NSW South Coast.
The lake is partially tidal (although can be cut-off from the ocean for long periods) and the water brackish in colour.
If you are looking for some flat water blasting this spot can be good in a S/SE or NE/E breeze.
Access & Launching
For a S/SE breeze, the best location for rigging & launching is from the Sailing Club located at the northern end of the lake. Accessed via the Wallagoot Road. There is free parking right on the lake, a good grassy area to rig, public toilets, a BBQ/ shelter shed and some nice shady trees. The water here is also very safe for swimming for the kids.
On a NE/E breeze, head to the Scotts Point park located in the SW side of the lake. This is accessed via Bournda Rd and you will see a sign to the left. Here you will find a lovely grassy area for rigging, public toilets, BBQ facilities & picnic tables. As this is inside the national park there is a small day visitors fee.
Another option on a NE breeze is from the Hobart Beach Campground however access to the water is pretty tight through the trees.
Where To Stay
This is really a place you would visit on a day trip if you were staying in Merimbula or Tathra.
However the Hobart Beach Campground is a rustic camping option in the Bournda National Park. There are no powdered sites however there are toilets, showers, a communal BBQ shelter and laundry facilities. Each site also has a fire pit for cooking.
