Lake Wooloweyah

For small motor boats and tinnies, picturesque Lake Wooloweyah can be accessed by Oyster Channel or via Palmers Channel, water depths are reasonable in this channel, but care should be taken as there are low power cables and Oyster Channel Bridge (3.7m).  Bordered by Yuraygir National Park this tranquil lake is very shallow, but is a great spot for fishing.  There are no navigation markings and care should be taken.  There are also two boat ramps to launch craft from Carrs Drive, Yamba or Lakes Boulevard, Wooloweyah.
