The Cudgegong River is a tributary of the Macquarie River in New South Wales. It rises near Rylstone and flows generally north-west past Mudgee and then into Lake Burrendong which is created by Burrendong Dam on the Macquarie River. Windamere Dam on the Cudgegong River, near Mudgee, forms Lake Windamere, a 368 120 ML water supply dam. It was completed in 1984 and built in order to supply water for irrigation and agriculture to the local area.
