The reserve is approx­i­mate­ly 11km south-east of the town­ship of Lang­horne Creek between Milang and Wellington.

Fol­low the Lang­horne Creek to Welling­ton Road, turn right onto Dog Lake Road (unsealed). At the end of this road (approx­i­mate­ly 9 kilometres),travel through the gate (please ensure you leave the gate as you found it).Follow the track to the left, then through anoth­er gate and into the reserve.

The road is suit­able for con­ven­tion­al vehi­cles. The main track inside the reserve is also suit­able for all vehicles.

Please stick to the main vehi­cle tracks and avoid dri­ving on the lev­ee banks.

Retriev­er (hunt­ing) dogs are allowed in game reserves dur­ing gazetted duck sea­son times. Dogs must be kept on a leash and allowed off for retriev­ing pur­pos­es only.

Assis­tance dogs are per­mit­ted in most pub­lic places and are there­fore wel­come in South Australia’s parks and reserves. Assis­tance dogs must be appro­pri­ate­ly restrained on a lead and remain under your effec­tive con­trol at all times while in a park or reserve.

As per the dogs in parks and reserves pol­i­cy, if the dog is not an accred­it­ed assis­tance dog, they must be trained to assist a per­son with a dis­abil­i­ty to alle­vi­ate that dis­abil­i­ty and meet stan­dards of hygiene and behav­iour appro­pri­ate for a dog in a pub­lic place. How­ev­er, refusal may be giv­en if the per­son with the dis­abil­i­ty is unable to pro­duce evi­dence the dog is an assis­tance dog with the appro­pri­ate training.

Before tak­ing your assis­tance dog into a park that does not nor­mal­ly allow dogs, it is high­ly rec­om­mend­ed that you con­tact us so we can pro­vide you with the lat­est infor­ma­tion on any poten­tial haz­ards with­in spe­cif­ic parks that may affect your dog. Please con­tact the park via the con­tact details pro­vid­ed under the con­tact tab or con­tact the vis­i­tor ser­vice cen­tre via email or on Face­book.

Please ensure that you are self suf­fi­cient when vis­it­ing this park. Oth­er than a pic­nic table at the end of the main track, on the edge of the Lake, there are no facilities.

First Nations peo­ples have occu­pied, enjoyed and man­aged the lands and waters of this state for thou­sands of gen­er­a­tions. For First Nations peo­ples, cre­ation ances­tors laid down the laws of the Coun­try and bestowed a range of cus­tom­ary rights and oblig­a­tions to the many Abo­rig­i­nal Nations across our state.

There are many places across the state that have great spir­i­tu­al sig­nif­i­cance to First Nations peo­ples. At some of these places, Abo­rig­i­nal cul­tur­al pro­to­cols such as restrict­ed access are pro­mot­ed, and vis­i­tors are asked to respect the wish­es of Tra­di­tion­al Owners.

In places where pro­to­cols are not pro­mot­ed vis­i­tors are asked to show respect by not touch­ing or remov­ing any­thing, and make sure you take all your rub­bish with you when you leave.

First Nations peo­ples con­tin­ue to play an active role in car­ing for their Coun­try, includ­ing in parks across South Australia.
