Creswick - St Georges Lake
St Georges Lake was once a mining dam in the late 1800s and is now a great base for recreational activities after it was drained, dredged and re-filled in 2015.
The lake is a swimming spot for the locals and has a beach area but care needs to be taken with younger kids since the water depth increases quickly to several metres deep.
The lake is a great place to take the kids or beginners out fishing with an abundance of redfin and stocked trout.
Free gas barbecues, tables and toilets are located in the main picnic area.
There is a 1.8km circuit path, mostly dirt with some boardwalks and a spillway, around the lake with views of the lake at many points. One side of the lake has a pine forest while the other side has native bush.
Access for Dogs:
Dogs are permitted on leash.
