Boolambayte Creek flows into Boolambayte Lake, which is part of the broader Myall Lakes system in Myall Lakes National Park, New South Wales. The creek connects to a network of interconnected lakes running north to south — Myall Lake, Boolambayte Lake, and The Broadwater — making it a natural extension of multi-day paddling routes through the park.

The creek is characterized by deep but snaggy water, with overhanging trees lining the banks. The surrounding vegetation is dominated by paperbarks (melaleuca), reeds, and wetland flora. The entrance to the creek from Boolambayte Lake is described as almost invisible, so paddlers should navigate carefully when locating it. Once inside, the water is sheltered and calm, providing a marked contrast to the exposed open lakes. Wind can be a significant factor on the broader lake system, with gusts of 15–20 knots not uncommon, making the creek a useful refuge during unsettled conditions. Paddlers are advised to monitor weather forecasts carefully, as the lakes represent a large expanse of open water.

Wildlife along the creek includes diamond pythons in the melaleuca trees, kingfishers close to the water's surface, and a variety of birdlife including noisy miners and wading birds. The combination of paperbarks, reflective water, and birdlife gives the creek a distinctly wild, bush character.

A campsite of considerable size is located along the creek, suitable for large groups, and the area is within Myall Lakes National Park. The creek is recommended as a side trip when exploring the Myall Lakes system, often paddled as a day excursion from a base camp on the lake. Australian Geographic lists it among notable paddling destinations, suggesting it as a destination to explore after time on the main lakes. The broader Myall Lakes area is considered accessible year-round due to the warm climate, though cold water temperatures and strong westerly winds during winter deter many visitors, making summer and shoulder seasons the more popular paddling periods.
