Clark's Rd is still ok near the gun club. Don't go too far out in the lake in your kayak the the speedboat club have sole use of exford weir and are very protective of it. The council will not give anybody else access don't know why they built all those house on exford road showing people playing in the lake you are not allowed. The speedboat club will call the cops on you if you get in the way of skiers.
The speed boats don't go north of the rail bridge. Up until they closed the road there were many kayaks on the lake without any real problems. Have they opened the access from Clarkes rd again?
Im looking to head down soon. Where is the best and easiest entrance to access and throw a line in? Not too concerned about walking around and having mobility to throw lures, mainly bait fish.

Is Clarkes rd the only good place? Looking to head down and chuck some bait rods in, but last time couldn't find access.

It was fenced off at the end, not sure if its open now.
But I think you can still walk around it if you're fishing landbased. Not 100% sure though.
