Lake Eppalock is approaching the trigger level for boating restrictions, with water levels expected to fall to 185.0 m AHD (36% capacity) tomorrow (Saturday 2 May 2026)
As lake levels reach 185.0 m AHD (36% capacity) and below, a 5 knot speed zone will come into effect for all waters upstream of The Strait, including Metcalfe Pool and Madden Reach. This activates the Emergency Safety Rule for these areas at Lake Eppalock.
