From Dubbo take the Newell Highway toward Gilgandra and just after you pass the truck stop the reserve is on the left, opposite the entrance to the Ranelagh Homestead B&B.
32°13’41.68″S, 148°36’39.76″E
Sealed roads to the entry point and then dirt which can be boggy if trying to get down to the beach.
Ok (see photo). There are some erosion issues due to vehicle damage on and near the beach. Take care not to make the problem worse – fish don’t like dirt in their river!
Good.
No camping. Bar-b-ques, covered picnic tables and views of the river near the entrance just off the sealed road (see photo).
This reserve is not far downstream from Dubbo’s second weir – take care if you boat near it. Even though it’s quite low there are still risks.
