Take a leisurely stroll around this serene and tranquil lake and maybe spot one of the resident platypi. It’s a moderate walk and you can walk a small section - maybe to the first lookout - or walk all the way around. Time depends on fitness and speed.

It’s a vigorous and fairly strenuous walk to the top of Marriner’s Lookout and the more fit can either run up or cycle up to the top. Most of us do it a leisurely pace so that we can enjoy the scenery and tranquillity of the surrounding bush. Those strapped for time can drive up. There are spectacular expansive views at the top and sunrise is a pleasant surprise looking towards Cape Patton. The walk from the car park to the lookout is through private farming property so please respect the wishes of the owners by closing gates and not taking your animals.
