Boating is a valued recreation activity in the area, attracting thousands of visitors from within Victoria, interstate and overseas.
Being close to Melbourne, the area has become a venue for a wide range of boating activities, including: rowing/canoeing, regattas, fishing, water-skiing and cruising. Attractions such as cellar door sales of premium wines, restaurants and cafes, markets and accommodation enhance the overall experience.
