From grabbing the morning paper and coffee and fuelling up the car, to filling a doctor’s prescription and enjoying a pub meal, Lake Boga township businesses provide highly personable service that is special to country communities.
Lake Boga itself is popular with water sports including fishing, water skiing and wake boarding, whilst the surrounding area provides for strong horticulture production of stone fruit, vegetable and grape growing, and grain production. The area has been a popular holiday destination for campers and water enthusiasts for many generations and since 2010 Lake Boga has been one of four Mid Murray Storages, ensuring the lake remains drought proof.
The lake covers 940 hectares and is well over 4 metres deep in places when at full capacity. The community vision for Lake Boga is one of a safe, family friendly place highly valued by the community for its water based recreational activities, amenity and history.
