As we head into the cooler months, Gum Bend Lake is now closed to all motorised water sports, including water skiing, boating, and jet skiing. With water levels dropping over winter, the lake will be refilled in Spring and ready to reopen for a new season of water fun in October!
While boating is paused, there’s still plenty to enjoy at Gum Bend Lake — from scenic walks and peaceful camping to the playground, picnic areas, and updated amenities. Or, just sit back and relax!
The Lachlan Shire Council invites visitors to keep exploring this beautiful spot year-round, and we can’t wait to welcome you back on the water when the weather warms up.

If you’re travelling through Condobolin next Wednesday, why not stop in for a free health check?
