About this place

What to expect

Beautiful Lake Forbes right in the middle of town has something for everyone. With 9km of wide accessible pathways – most of them lit with solar lights, Lake Forbes is the perfect place to stop and stretch your legs. If you have time for a longer stop there are BBQs located all around the lake, a cafe at Lions Park and multiple playgrounds. The western end is a water skiers paradise, dragon boats and kayaks use the main Lake. Fishing is popular throughout and its a great place to walk your furry friend. Kids will love the water spray park and you will find the Lake super easy to navigate with wayfinding signage and interpretative signage in place. There's plenty of bird life and you might even spot a rakali or water rat. Keep an eye out for the incredible sculptures adjacent to the Wiradjuri Dreaming Centre.
