The Myall Lakes are a series of fresh water lakes on the mid-north coast of New South Wales, Australia in Great Lakes Council. The lakes are adjacent to the coast about 250 kilometers north of Sydney. There are three Myall Lakes, called Myall Lake, Boolambyte Lake and The Broadwater. Smith's Lake is close to the northern Myall Lake, but is not connected. The Lakes are partially interconnected and navigable by small craft. The Myall River flows into the western side of The Broadwater. The Myall River also flows out of The Broadwater and meanders southwest where it empties into Port Stephens between the towns of Tea Gardens and Hawks Nest. The lower Myall River progressively becomes saltier and more tidal as it flows southwards.
