Changes to parking and roads at Arthurs Lake

Due to low water levels at Arthurs Lake new arrangements have been put in place to accommodate vehicle and trailer parking closer to the launching area.

The ‘No parking below this point’ signs have been removed and a designated parking area on the southern (Canal) side of the ramp has been cleared of rocks and signposted.

Boaters are encouraged to park appropriately and not to obstruct the launching area particularly at the end of the ramp. Leave plenty of room for a car and trailer to turn and launch or retrieve safely.

Please consider other users of the ramp – a short walk from the parking area to your boat is not too much of an inconvenience.

Anglers are reminded that it is an offence to obstruct a boat ramp with substantial penalties applying to offenders.

In addition new signage has been installed warning anglers of the need to be vigilant when navigating around the lake with new navigation hazards being exposed. It is recommended that anglers observe a 5-knot speed limit at all times.

Anglers will be pleased and relieved to know that Gunns Marsh Rd. from the B51 (Poatina Rd) junction to Jonah Bay campground will be graded and repaired over the next week in time for the coming holiday season. Hydro are funding the works which commenced on 23rd November and are due for completion in early December.
