Description

Wentworth Falls Lake was originally created by the damming of Jamison Creek to supply water for the steam railway. The Lake is now home to native birds, ducks, coots, and introduced waterfowl, native fish such as Gudgeons, water bugs including freshwater crayfish, freshwater shrimp, and dragonflies. 

It is also a popular picnic spot with barbeque facilities. Wentworth Falls Lake Reserve has a picnic area and children's playgrounds and throughout the park there are sandstone sculptures, based on seed pods of nearby local plants. There is a walking track around the lake of about 3.5 klm in length.

Additional Information

The walk around the lake also involves walking on roads for over half of the walk. While there aren't any designated swimming areas, on the northern side of the lake there are swing ropes for the kids to swing out of the lake. There is also a small beach area.
