Lake Daylesford
The heart of town. Walk it, run it, swim it in summer, or sit by the water with a glass of wine.
The heart of town
Lake Daylesford is close to the centre of town, and it’s where locals go every day. A walk before breakfast, a run, the dog’s evening lap.
Walking around the lake is honestly the best thing to do here. The loop is about 2.5 km and takes around 45 minutes at an easy pace, with the water beside you the whole way. Want more? The Tipperary Track heads off from the lake towards Hepburn Springs.

Swim in summer
