Lake Tuggeranong Traffic Guidelines

With the closure of Lake Burley Griffin we are aware many of you may be relocating to Lake Tuggeranong in an attempt to gain some water time. If so please be aware there is a set of Traffic Flow Guidelines published by the Lake Tuggeranong Rowing Club. It is important given the lake is smaller than what many of us are used to that all rowers and scullers follow these guidelines and exercise care while on the water.
