Beautiful spot
Mar. 2022
We visited the lake on a lovely sunny day and did the walk around it. Lots of families enjoying the day - my husband swam across and back. We only had coffee from the cafe as it was morning but the menu did look good.

a good place to relax
Jan. 2022
Good place to relax and cool down, the lake is rather shallow so suitable for kids. The diving platform is a nice touch.

Great place for a summer swim
Jan. 2022
Make sure you get there early or you will not get a parking spot. Water was beautiful and the view is very country

Swimming Hole
Jan. 2022
It was the local swimming hole but the water looked a little murky and unpleasant but it was a picturesque small lake with a sandy beach and good picnic facilities and was well used on a hot day. I did not go swimming as it had that Lake Placid look

Worth a look if you're in the area.
Nov. 2021
Popped by on the drive out of Orange. There’s a reasonable sized lake / reservoir, a small beach, and a coffee shop. Just walked across the spillway and back.

Nice plays for a short nature stroll
Dec. 2021
Very nice lake and a great short (45-60 minutes) stroll around the lake itself. Flat, not too tiring, great views. Highly recommended to do with kids (prams can pass there easily).

Stroll around the lake
Nov. 2021
Whilst visiting Orange recently, we decided to visit Lake Canobolas. After our lunch at the newly refurbished Lake Kiosk and Cafe, we took a stroll over to the weir and lake. The weir was in full flow as Orange had recent heavy rains. There is a nice parkland area and picnic spots on the grassed areas. Public toilets are available near the Cafe. It is well worth a visit for a leisurely stroll.
