It’s a lovely area for a jog around the lake. The lake/water reservoir is in the middle of residential area.
Lake will be vivid blue in October during the warmer season. You can still see the colour of the lake and still a pretty lake.
Close to umpherstone sinkhole.
The Blue Lake is best experienced on a sunny day, when the clarity and vibrant color of the water are most striking. Numerous lookout points offer stunning views from all angles, allowing you to fully appreciate its natural beauty.
The natural beauty of this lake astounds me every time I am there. The water is so perfectly blue in the warmer months. A unique experience.

Great natural vegetation area on the edge of town with regularly mowed grass walking / bike paths. Steep site so firm footwear, balance and hiking stamina recommended. People like to walk theyre dogs off the lead here. Good spot to ride Mountain Bikes down the steep hill. Photographers can photograph Birdlife & Swamp Wallabies here morning and evening.
Nice location, green big landscape, you can take good photos from many angles, very close to blue lake. Near to walking track. Easy car park, overall a very good scenic spot.
