Flooding Affects Myall Lakes National Park The significant flooding throughout the Great Lakes and other areas on the Mid North Coast has also affected Myall Lakes National Park forcing the temporary closure of many of the park’s lakeside visitor areas. National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) Great Lakes Area Manager, Steve Smith said the severe downpour over a number of days has caused the Myall Lakes system to rise significantly peaking at 1.7m above normal levels. “The water is slowly receding and the naturally slow draining of the lake system via the lower Myall River means that high water levels are expected to impact the park for some weeks”, Mr Smith said. The Bombah Point Ferry is not operating due to high water levels’, he said. “This may include the Easter Holiday weekend so people intending to visit over Easter are advised to check the website or ring the NPWS Great Lakes Area office on 65910300 for the latest information before they leave home”. Until water levels recede further the following closures remain in place: Bombah Point Ferry Neranie Road Stoney Creek Road White Tree Bay Camping Area Dees Corner Camping Area The Wells Camping Area Bungaree Bay Camping Area Neranie Camping Area Hearts Point Day Use Area Hearts Point Boat Ramp Bombah Point Road is opened to Myall Shores Holiday Park.
