WATER QUALITY INFORMATION
This area is OPEN and there are no restrictions.
SITE INFORMATION
On the western shore of Acton Peninsula this site is the closest launch site to paddle over to Springbank Island. This is a great vantage spot to watch the sailing regattas in West Lake or just watch the sun set over Lake Burley Griffin.
This area is within walking distance of the National Museum of Australia and The Australian National University and is only 10 minutes drive from Canberra's city centre.
*STANDING BACTERIA ALERT*
Swimming should be avoided for several days after heavy rainfall as bacterial levels are strongly affected by such events.
Keep your distance from other people.
Practicing social distancing is still essential. Only go to the beach if you are able to keep 6 feet or 2 meters away from others. Follow the instructions provided by your local health authorities. If your community has asked that you remain indoors and away from others, do so. Spending a day in any crowded place is the worst thing we can do for our most vulnerable right now and will counter our efforts to curb the virus’s spread.
