Lake Lonsdale
Lake Lonsdale sits just north of Stawell and offers a peaceful setting for outdoor recreation in the northern Grampians.
Known for its wide views, quiet foreshore and easy access, the lake is a popular spot for swimming, paddling, boating and relaxed days by the water. Families enjoy the calm shallows and open spaces, while anglers make use of productive fishing areas around the shoreline. The lake supports a mix of native and stocked species, giving visitors the chance to catch redfin, trout and other freshwater favourites.
The surrounding landscape creates a sense of space and simplicity, with low vegetation, sandy edges and clear water that reflects the changing light throughout the day. It is a practical and welcoming place for picnics, short walks and time spent outdoors. Boat users appreciate the accessible launch points and the room available for exploring the lake at a gentle pace.
Lake Lonsdale is also a convenient base for exploring nearby attractions, including Stawell, Halls Gap and the wider Grampians National Park. Its location makes it an easy addition to a regional itinerary, whether you are travelling for a weekend or passing through on a longer journey. With reliable water levels and a relaxed atmosphere, Lake Lonsdale offers a straightforward and enjoyable lakeside experience for visitors of all ages
