The Broadwater
From the Clarence River a couple of kilometres upstream of Maclean, you can enter the large enclosed lagoon of The Broadwater which consists largely of shallow water with a deeper, unmarked channel towards the eastern bank that would be accessible to smaller yachts and tinnies or with local knowledge of the channel. Not far from the entrance is the hulk of an old sugar cane barge.
