Wide open paths for walking, cycling and running. A lap of the lake makes for a great 8km run starting in the CBD. Local government has done a great job of doing up the foreshore, and widening footpaths. Just a lovely place on a weekend to relax with family.

Lake Burley Griffin is the centre focus of Canberra. It is a large lake which looks great, but is not one for swimming.

Went for a walk around waiting for The Carillion bells to play. Lots of joggers and bike riders made the most of a beautiful day and the track.

such a pleasant thing to do . Takes about an hour 15 and always interesting depending on the season and time of day. A great freebie for visitors. Good way to get ideas of what else to do, call in at regatta point and see exhibition, hire a segway near the questacon carpark.Coffee at the national library....so many options.

Whatever you do when in Canberra take some time to drop into one of many locations on the shores on the Lake - you will see many big attractions over the water, and if you're into running take time for a jog around !
