Beaufort Lake
Cool off during the summer months at Beaufort Lake. The man-made lake is great for fishing, water skiing, canoeing and swimming.
Pack a picnic and make the most of the great picnic and barbecue facilities. Or grab a bite to eat at one of the fantastic eateries in town.
There is a leisurely 3km or 1km walking/running track around the lake with fitness equipment dotted along the way. Join countless locals running, strolling and cycling the track year-round. As you stroll the banks of the lake, you will find the Koori Art Trail with 12 art installations strategically placed around the lake.
There is a single picnic table and BBQs.
