Dumbleyung
Believe it or not Dumbleyung has a yacht club and a waterski club. When a large rain event occurs and fills the lake (sadly quite rare these days) the locals drag their surf cats and ski boats out of their sheds and go and play. The lake is huge, 52 square kilometres (Sydney Harbour is 55) so when it fills it is worth a visit. The edge of the lake is filled with dead trees so unfortunately there are limited places on the shoreline to pull up. The yacht club and the ski club have the main beaches you can use. An interesting challenge is to attempt to find the channel into the Coblinine River through all the dead trees. Overall a unique sailing experience.
Camp in the town at the shire camping ground with facilities, camp in Stubbs Park just south of the GODI (Grand Old Dumbleyung Inn) for free without facilities, or perhaps stay in style at the GODI.

Water Ski Club
Yacht Club Ramp
This is a rudimentary ramp on the north side of the lake that is a bit difficult to use and is not recommended for larger or heavier boats.
