Current Access Barmah National Park at 31,500 Megaleters

Most tracks within Barmah National Park remain Closed to motor vehicles access, for public safety, to avoid damage to tracks and reduce environmental harm.

This is due to a continued major flooding event and recent local rainfall that has resulted in high water levels and boggy conditions, impacting access tracks in the majority of the Barmah National Park and Barmah Island.

The following tracks are OPEN within Barmah National Park area, however we recommend Four-Wheel Drive access only and conditions are subject to change at any time without notice:

Sand Ridge Tk (to the Dharnya Centre and the Lakes camp ground)
Ulupna Island (Barmah National Park and Tocumwal Regional Park) Most Beaches are under water, limited high bank camping is available.
The Ranch (south of Barmah not shown on map)

See the attached map for tracks that remain OPEN , highlighted Green recommended for 4x4 only access. Red Dots at Gateways indicate tracks that are closed due to Flood water.

For all of the latest change of conditions regarding Barmah National Park and surrounding reserves, please see https://www.parks.vic.gov.au/places-to-see/parks/barmah-national-park.

Current River flows have increased to 23,00 Megalitre’s a day out of Yarrawonga weir. We will review access on a weekly basis and open the closed areas as soon as possible. Please take care on all tracks due to the wet conditions and if you can avoid using wet tracks, please do so to prevent Track and Vehicle damage.

Note: southern toilet at the Lakes campground and toilet at the Lakes day visitor area/Boat Ramp are close due to impacts from flooding.
