Such a beautiful spot! There’s plenty of parking, and the view overlooking the lake is truly picturesque, a perfect place to stop and take it all in. There’s a great deal to see, including a historical information board that adds some interesting context to the area. While we were there, we watched a speed boat towing a tube across the water, it looked like great fun, though I imagine it was freezing! This lake is just across from the Blue Lake, and if you're up for it, there are walking trails to explore. A lovely and worthwhile stop on any lake-hopping adventure
We hiked along the leg of Mutton trail but we didn’t get to where we were going as it was closed off so we just did a circular loop which was worth the fitness. Nice to have this walking trail right near the blue Lake. Will be good once it’s no longer closed halfway around.
A beautiful, easy trail winding around the old crater, with shady trees, birdsong, and golden wattles blooming in early spring. The changing colours and peaceful setting make it a wonderful place to connect with nature and enjoy a gentle walk. Convenient car parking makes it easy to visit.
