Lake Daylesford

Daylesford Picnic Spot And Walking Trail

Lake Daylesford is a man-made lake, originally a site of gold diggings, then later a Chinese market garden. The construction of the lake began in 1927 and is still used for many recreational activities. 

Find paddleboats for hire, a children’s playground, undercover barbecues, and on weekends, usually a wedding or two to stop and look at.

Allow around 45 minutes to walk around the lake’s gentle, sloping tree-lined path, taking in a couple of stops to soak up the stunning vistas.
