The lake foreshore is lined with beautiful, historic boathouses and is adjacent to the magnificent Ballarat Botanical Gardens. The lake itself is a significant wetland, home to a huge population of swans and other waterbirds. The area has numerous playgrounds, picnic and barbecue facilities, and cafes.
