Bundalong Day Visitor Area (Ovens River Heritage River, Warby-Ovens National Park)

Enjoy canoeing, fishing or boating on the Ovens River from the Bundalong South boat ramp and pontoon. There is limited parking available so please parks with consideration for other users.

Do not park or rest under or near large trees like River Red Gums, as branches may fall at any time and swing away from the tree. Whole trees can also fall without warning. Rope swings are not recommended.

The Ovens River provides excellent fishing, with Murray Cod and Yellowbelly frequently caught. Make sure you are familiar with fishing and boating regulations and have the appropriate licence and registration.

Boating on rivers and lakes demands special care. Obstacles like submerged trees and sandbars may not be visible, and currents and other conditions are constantly changing. Play it safe and keep your speed down. Always wear a lifejacket.

Rivers may have fast currents, underwater objects, and deep holes which can be hazardous. Always enter the water slowly, feet first. Do not dive or jump in to the river. Submerged objects can cause neck or spinal injuries. Never swim alone or in flood waters. Drinking alcohol significantly increases the risk of drowning. Always actively supervise children in or near water. Children under ten should always be within sight. Children under five should always be within reach. Lifejackets and flotation devices are recommended.
