The regional reserve can only accessed via the historic Strzelecki Track. It is partly located on land that was included on the List of Wetlands of International Importance under the Ramsar Convention under the name Coongie Lakes in 1987.[6] The regional reserve is classified as an IUCN Category VI protected area.[1]
