Duck Hole Creek is a paddling destination within the Lake Macquarie estuary system in New South Wales. The creek flows into Duck Hole Lagoon, which is accessible via a paddle route that begins near the end of Casuarina Grove on the main body of Lake Macquarie. Paddlers heading north from this access point will reach the lagoon. The overall experience involves paddling on the expansive, sheltered waters of Lake Macquarie to reach the creek and lagoon environment. Boat ramps and access points are available. The area supports activities like kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding. The water body is part of a larger estuarine network, suggesting a mix of open lake and more confined creek and lagoon settings. Seasonal water temperatures follow the typical pattern for the subtropical Lake Macquarie region, with warmer waters in the summer months from December to February and cooler conditions in the winter from June to August. The route passes through developed shoreline areas, indicating a blend of natural and residential vistas.
