Information

This is the outflow from Ocean Lake. The tannin coloured waters are fresh and unpolluted. May be slightly brackish if high tides have washed into that part of the lake. At times the creek gets blocked off and becomes a swimming area. Can be impassable at high tide but this is relatively rare. It is a common place for campers to top up with non potable water.
