Stay overnight at Lake Broadwater or Wilga Bush camping areas. Lake Broadwater has grassy campsites overlooking the lake, toilets, cold showers and picnic facilities, and is suitable for caravans and motorhomes. Wilga Bush camping area has shady, secluded campsites on the northern side of the lake, toilets, fireplaces and a shelter shed. Pay your camping fees at the self-registration station in the picnic area or get your camping permit beforehand.
Boating is by permit, available from the on-site caretaker. No boats are allowed in The Neck, a bird nesting area. Go birdwatching from a hide near the neck of the lake.
Learn about the park’s vegetation along the walking track which skirts the lake. See the remains of an old dingo fence built in the 1860s for St Ruth Station.
Guided activities can be arranged through the Lake Broadwater Natural History Association.
