Burrumbeet - Lake Burrumbeet
Lake Burrumbeet is a large freshwater lake 20km west of Ballarat. It is renowned as a good carp fishing spot and the lake is perfect for swimming, boating, kayaking, jet skiing, fishing, walking, camping and picnicking.
There is a boat ramp, area with picnic facilities and a walk around the lake.
The name Burrumbeet means ?muddy water? in the Wadawurrung language. Lake Burrumbeet is part of the traditional lands of the Burrumbeet Balug clan of the Wadawurrung people.The lake's sandy embankments, large sheltering trees, freshwater creek and rich plant and animal resources provided an excellent camp for the Wadawurrung people, who were known to inhabit this area.
The lake is home to a number of River Red Gums and is a potential breeding site for Brolga and other wetland species such as the Freckled Duck.
Enjoy waterfront views from the two picnic shelters on the shoreline, which include tables and chairs. From here, take a stroll along the foreshore and enjoy the views across the lake as you wander through the River Red Gums.
Camping options include smaller sites surrounded by nature close to the entrance. As you move further along the shoreline you'll find open, grassy areas which are ideal for larger groups or those with large vehicles or caravans (all sites are unpowered). No fees are payable for camping and no booking is required.
