The Lakes National Park
The Lakes National Park is a peaceful bushland retreat in the Gippsland Lakes, fringed by the waters of Lake Victoria and Lake Reeve. The park occupies 2,390 hectares of low-lying woodland and coastal heath, consisting of Sperm Whale Head peninsula, Rotamah and Little Rotamah Islands.
Things to Do
* Call into the park office in Loch Sport during office hours and view the information displays, exhibits and 'touch table'.
* The most popular of several picnic areas is at Point Wilson, the site of the original settlers' homestead.
* Camping is permitted at Emu Bight only, close to the shore of Lake Victoria.
A network of walking tracks exists and the gently undulating tracks are suitable for family outings. The self guided Lake Reeve Nature Trail, featuring the Lookout Tower, is a popular short walk through several habitats with many points of interest along the way.
* Situated at the beginning of the Nature Trail, the Lookout Tower affords magnificent views of Lake Reeve and the Gippsland Lakes system.
* Many bird species can be observed throughout the park or, alternatively, from bird hides situated at Lake Killarney and on Rotamah Island.
Precautions
* Many kangaroos and birds frequent the picnic areas but please do not feed them because our processed foods are not part of their normal diet.
