Your safety is important - please remain vigilant and play it safe when visiting any of our dams, lakes and parks.
Rainfall can change the conditions of our lakes and recreation areas, so we urge all users to remain vigilant and be aware of hazards when recreating at our lakes.
It's not just excessive rain that can cause conditions at our lakes to change. Periods of low rain or drought, or increased usage at our irrigation dams often result in a lower water level at some of our lakes, such as Lake Atkinson.
If you are the skipper of a vessel or boat, it is your responsibility to ensure that the conditions are suitable for your particular activity. Submerged hazards including debris and natural hazards may be present, so lake users are reminded to remain vigilant at all times. You can keep yourself and your passengers safe by:
checking the area you intend to use to determine whether it is safe for your activity
- keeping a proper lookout when using towing apparatus
- maintaining a safe speed suitable for the conditions
- wearing your life jacket
- keeping a good lookout when using towing apparatus.
