  Our records carry no access rule either way. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. The closest car park is 1 km away, so pack accordingly. Mapping shows a jetty some 310 m off. For the perch, a small jig tipped with worm, dropped along the edges, is hard to beat. Some banks are open only from a marked point.
