This is a small, high-altitude wetland of international significance, and a very important area for waterbirds. There is excellent birdwatching on the southern shores of the lagoon. It’s fun to walk around the lagoon watching waterbirds, but the track is rough so you will need good footwear.
While in the park you will find information signs dotted about and you can enjoy bushwalking and photography, while you are out birdwatching along the many walking tracks. These habitats are of special value in supporting vulnerable and rare species such as the comb-crested jacana and the blue-billed duck.
The park is located 50 km south of Glen Innes, 60 km north of Armidale. Turn off the Gwydir Highway 44 km south of Glen Innes or alternatively 10 km north of the village of Llangothlin. Take the Tubbamurra Road for 2.5 km and then turn left onto Bagot Road (unsealed) for a further 3.5 km.
